Re: Cannot call Lua function from C code

Er, please send additional code?
Kind of hard to know what FAILING means, what func is, what global  
functions are defined in the script, etc.

what happens for you with this, for example:

lua_getglobal(luaState, "print");
if (lua_isfunction(L, -1)) {
	printf("found print\n");
}
