 sure i am using lunar. But i might have declared the class as LUNA. but all the lunar code is there in the .h file. i do even see those two methods, push and call which are specific to lunar.
The following is the full definition of my CLObject 

class CLObject {
public:

// Constants
static const char className[];
static Luna< CLObject  >::RegType methods[];
CLObject :: CLObject (lua_State *L, CLObject * p);
// Initialize the pointer
CLObject (lua_State *L);
~ CLObject ();
int GetType(lua_State *L);//(unsigned char&cType);
         int GetListofNumbers(lua_State *L);
...//some additional methods defined

CObject* real_object; //this is the actual pointer to the C++ class.
};

const char CLObject ::className[] = "CLObject ";
Luna< CLObject  >::RegType CLObject ::methods[] = {
method(CLObject ,  GetType),
method(CLObject ,  GetListofNumbers),
method(CLObject ,  Instance),
method(CLObject ,  Process),
{0,0} };


and during lua intiialize i do call up the following
Luna< CLObject  >::Register(L);

The following is the lunar code in my header file which has both of those push and call methods defined.


template <typename T> class Luna {
  typedef struct { T *pT; } userdataType;

Any idea of what could be wrong?

Thanks

i am receiving this

error C2039: 'push' : is not a member of 'CLNumList'


Are you sure you're using Lunar ? Lunar adds two methods, call and push,  that I think were not present in Luna, and parts of your code suggests you're using Luna instead of Lunar.

Things like this:

static Luna< CLObject >::RegType methods[];

The example at http://lua-users.org/wiki/CppBindingWithLunar says:
static Lunar<Account>::RegType methods[];
