Save this file to dummy.c:

/* dummy.c -- a minimal Lua library for testing dynamic loading */

#include <stdio.h>
#include "lua.h"

int luaopen_dummy (lua_State *L) {
 puts("Hello from dummy");
 lua_pushnil(L);
 puts("Bye from dummy");
 return 0;
}

Then do
	cc -o dummy.so -shared -fPIC dummy.c
	lua -ldummy

I'm suprised that readline is active in the interactive interpreter without
defining LUA_USE_READLINE when building Lua.
