I built a simple module, called by a likewise simple program. after some searching around I found that by setting LUA_PATH with export LUA_PATH=/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?.lua; I succeeded in running program + module. I don't know, though, wether this works in more complicated projects, but you might give it a try. If it works, you should set LUA_CPATH too (if you want to include C-modules). regards, michael
