It's probably also a good idea to make sure your local tree doesn't mix installations of Lua 5.1 and 5.2 rocks. If you want to install 5.1 rocks to /usr and 5.2 rocks to /usr/local, you could do: /usr/local/bin/lua luarocks install --tree=/usr/local zee -- Hisham http://hisham.hm/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
