Hi,

I started to compile LuaRocks myself some versions ago, and continued to 
do so because 'luarocks install luarocks' always failed. Here is the 
latest try (on Linux, as root):

-----------

#luarocks install luarocks

'print(_VERSION:sub(5))'`; \
for f in luarocks luarocks-admin; \
do \
   cp "$f" "/usr/lib/luarocks/rocks/luarocks/2.4.2-1/bin/$f-$luaver"; \
   chmod +rx "/usr/lib/luarocks/rocks/luarocks/2.4.2-1/bin/$f-$luaver"; \
   ln -nfs "$f-$luaver"

The message in the last line looks somewhat strange to me. Maybe you can 
make sense of it.
