A link in the description is fine, but that probably would make you the official mainainer of the rock's documentation ... :-p > >> Regarding `GDBM_LIBDIR`: This variable depends on your operating >> system.

Those libraries are pretty non-standard as far as traditional Unix is concerned.

I'm afraid I'm not aware of any. In your special case you could modify the `defaults.external_deps_dirs` variable in `luarocks/cfg.lua` (I don't know if there is another way to set this without editing luarocks source code). > (subtext: then it > would be easy to write a wrapper that looked at /etc/ld.so.conf > and thence /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* and then invoked luarocks...) That is actually a nice idea (for luarocks itself).
