Re: best linux Distro for Lua programming

[Patrick <spell_gooder_now@...>]

`which lua` may be enlightening.

Thanks again for all your help guys. I did manually compile 5.14 about a 
year ago. My memory is failing me but I believe it was in my feeble 
attempt to get LuaGnome working.

Again, Ubuntu has been good to me and I am indebted to all the packagers 
and developers but is it the case that Ubuntu's search structure is 
different then other Linux Distros? I always seem to feel like I have to 
state this in every thread I am involved in but I am not like the rest 
of you. I am not a Lua Jedi Knight, I fix spectrometers and screw around 
with computer programming when I can. Is Ubuntu the best Distro for 
someone like me? I was not aware that my manual compile would choose a 
different set of paths then the Ubuntu package. I am worried that there 
may be many more pitfalls ahead of me. One thing I am qualified to say 
is that it is much harder to fix things when a novice tried ahead of 
you. This thread likely reflects this, it took some very bright guys to 
talk this novice threw this.
