When I did that, I got:

sudo luarocks install luarocks
Installing http://rocks.moonscript.org/luarocks-2.1.2-1.src.rock...

luarocks 2.1.2-1 is now built and installed in /usr/local (license: MIT/X11)

However, the luarocks thus built will not run.

$ sudo luarocks install lpeg
/home/dirk/bin/lua53: /usr/local/share/lua/5.3/luarocks/loader.lua:12:
attempt to call a nil value (global 'module')
stack traceback:
    /usr/local/share/lua/5.3/luarocks/loader.lua:12: in main chunk
    [C]: in function 'require'
    /usr/local/lib/luarocks/rocks/luarocks/2.1.2-1/bin/luarocks:3: in main chunk
    [C]: in ?

So I did the luarocks bootstrap again: "./configure" and "sudo
luarocks bootstrap".
The latter gives me exactly the same messages as above, but at least the newly
built luarocks runs.
