  I don't have access to a FreeBSD system to diagnose this, but I suspect
I'm missing some #define or header file for the networking stuff.  I'm not
surprised that "make install" failed for some of the modules---I use Lua
(the standalone Lua executable) to find the appropriate directory [1] and
that looks to have failed.  

  I'm also not surprised at the bus error (well, I am that it was a bus
fault and not a segfault, but I'm not surprised it crashed) because I had to
"fix" the bug I mentioned and had not yet commited the change.  It only
happens on a deeply nested directory structure (which my program defaults to
$HOME).

  Quite a few of the modules in the repo are ... um ... still being worked
on [4].  Those I feel comfortable with have rockspecs.

  Thank you.  That makefile is a bit better written.

  -spc

[1]	The two lines in the makefile are:

	LUADIR := $(prefix)/share/lua/$(shell lua -e "print(_VERSION:match '^Lua (.*)')")
	LIBDIR := $(prefix)/lib/lua/$(shell lua -e "print(_VERSION:match '^Lua (.*)')")

	I should probably make these:

	LUA         = lua
	prefix      = /usr/local
	datarootdir = $(prefix)/share
	libdir      = $(prefix)/lib

	LUADIR := $(DESTDIR)$(datarootdir)/lua/$(shell $(LUA) -e "print(_VERSION:match 'Lua (.*)')")
	LIBDIR := $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/lua($(shell $(LUA) -e "print(_VERSION:match '^Lua (.*)')")

	But I got lazy 8-/

[2]	See above.

[3]	See above.

[4]	I have another repo that isn't published yet that is even more so.
