Re: Error with LuaRocks on Lua for Windows

[Fabio Mascarenhas <mascarenhas@...>]

Hi, Stuart,

I just downloaded LfW 5.1.4-37, installed it, then downloaded
luarocks-2.0.2-lfw.zip from http://luarocks.org/releases and copied
the contents of the .zip file to where I installed LfW. "luarocks
install wsapi-xavante" ran with no problems. Could you check where
your LUA_DEV environment variable and your PATH are pointing? Maybe an
older version of LuaRocks and/or LfW are conflicting with our newest
installation (and the same can be happening with your friend).
