I compiled the lua-ex library from https://github.com/luaforge/lua-ex on Linux with Lua 5.1.5. Compile goes through fine (to ex.so).

But when I use it:

  require "ex"
  command='date'
  local proc, err = assert(os.spawn{command=command})

It gives a glibc error:

Has the ex library been tested recently?

I successfully use a version on Linux (Ubuntu 10.4 in a VM) compiled from [1].  The https://github.com/luaforge/lua-ex version is similar, so I don't know why one would work and the other wouldn't.
