Re: Can't luarocks install luasocket

I assume you've a good reason for banging your head against rocks
instead of just installing luasocket?

aptitude install liblua5.1-socket2

I've never used rocks, but if you want lua5.1 on ubuntu to find the
rocks automatically, you'd need the modules
to appear in one of the paths it uses:

% lua
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print(package.path)
./?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua
> print(package.cpath)
./?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so

Cheers,
