Hi. I downloaded the source for 5.2.4 and was able to "make
linux".
When I try "make install", I get:
make all SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_LINUX"
SYSLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline"
make[1]: Entering directory '/local/opt/lua/lua-5.2.4/src'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/local/opt/lua/lua-5.2.4/src'
