Why not use make install?

Are you certain you compiled against lua5.0, and are using lua5.0?

Your problem isn't finding core.so, its that core.so can't find the
definitions of lua's C API, which is a compilation flag problem
possibly with your lua, maybe the syms aren't being exported by
whatever lua exe you are using to load core.so?
