Why not? Luarocks-2.x drops the files directly into the same place
where they'd be manually installed. If that doesn't work it would be a
bug and nothing else. For example:

$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ cd /tmp/foo
$ wget https://raw.github.com/gist/1023085/872d2544f2897138fe2e19e9d7c451773282e2e4/install.sh
$ sh install.sh
$ ./sandbox/bin/luarocks install luasocket
$ ./sandbox/bin/lua -lsocket -e 'print(socket.gettime())'

Works brilliantly!
