You didn't specify how are Lua 5.1 and 5.2 installed in your system,
but try this:

mkdir testdir
cd testdir
wget http://luarocks.org/releases/luarocks-2.0.12.tar.gz
tar zxvpf luarocks-2.0.12.tar.gz
cd luarocks-2.0.12
./configure --prefix=$HOME/testdir --lua-version=5.2 --with-lua=/usr/local
# you may need additional flags such as --with-lua-include
# and --lua-suffix depending on your system
make
make install
cd ..
bin/luarocks build stdlib --tree=$PWD
eval `bin/luarocks path`
lua -e 'require "std"'
echo $?
