lua test failure

[Joe Kline <gizmo@...>]

I'm trying to compile 5.3.4 on RHEL6.

I'm changing the install dir by editing the top level Makefile to
install it in /opt/lua/5.3.4

The compile and link look to go ok.

I then expand the testing tarball and run:

/opt/lua/5.3.4/bin/lua all.lua


It rather quickly dies with the following error message:


***** FILE 'attrib.lua'*****
testing require
package config: /|;|?|!|-|
.+
/opt/lua/5.3.4/bin/lua: attrib.lua:246: assertion failed!
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'assert'
	attrib.lua:246: in main chunk
	(...tail calls...)
	all.lua:161: in main chunk
	[C]: in ?
.>>> closing state <<<


I've tried compiling with a new gcc (7.1.0 vs 4.4.7 which is the system
gcc on RHEL6).

Any help giving insight into the error and how I might fix it?

Thanks,

joe
