Ok, thanks a lot, both of you.

Is it possible to add a note in the given link to said it changed in next version ? (I'm still using Lua 5.1)

Thanks

Laurent

The page you linked refers to Lua 5.0. This has changed since. The variable inside Lua that controls the package path is now called package.path and the environment variable is still called LUA_PATH. For the .so modules, the variables are package.cpath and LUA_CPATH.

Since Lua 5.2, there are also versioned variants of the environment variables: LUA_PATH_5_2, LUA_CPATH_5_2, LUA_PATH_5_3, LUA_CPATH_5_3. These take precedence over the unversioned ones when available.
