luaposix just uses whatever luarocks passes to it: it's built using a command
that starts with `./configure LUA='$(LUA)'`, where LUA variable is
substituted by
luarocks, with a wrong value 'lua53' in this case. It should come from
`luarocks.site_config`
module that is generated on luarocks installation. Could you send its contents?
The file is with all other modules, probably in
$PREFIX/share/lua/5.3/luarocks/site_config.lua.
