Thanks Geoff,

That worked. Oh, not at first -- it errored out like this:

=====================================================
slitt@mydesk:~$ ./testiup.lua 
/usr/bin/lua: error loading module 'iuplua' from file 
'/usr/lib/lua/5.1/iuplua.so':
        /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required 
by /usr/lib/libiup.so)
stack traceback:
        [C]: ?
        [C]: in function 'require'
        ./testiup.lua:2: in main chunk
        [C]: ?
slitt@mydesk:~$
=====================================================

So I RTFMed and found it's a Ubuntu 9.10 library incompatibility, so instead 
of using IUP 3.3 I went back to 3.0 (from January 2010) and it worked 
perfectly.

Now that I've got SOMETHING working I can build up from there, so thanks for 
the minimalist program!
