I didn't realize that pre-compiled packages were crucial for those people
to use the software.

I recommend you to look into some non-official or third-party repositories
or build services to see whether it has pre-built packages already.

I don't have any experiences on Ubuntu distribution, but I suppose there
do exist such services, similar to the openSUSE Build Service or the
packman repository (I used both of which), right?


BTW, I now wonder if Hisham would provide binary packages for major
Linux distributions, on the official luarocks website.
anylway, luarocks don't need to be really _compiled_, but configured.
