Thanks for the response. I tried again with the following process
1. I removed luarocks 2.0.8 from the ubuntu by doing sudo apt-get
remove luarocks. This was successful.
2. Then downloaded luarock 2.1.2. configure. make . sudo make install.
All successful.
3. Then tried to install lunitx. Unsuccessful. The formatted transcript
is provided below

What are the specific issues you had with 2.1.2? I could not reproduce
it here, htmlparser and lunitx installed with no problems:
```
] bin/luarocks install htmlparser
Installing
http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/htmlparser-0.3.2-1.src.rock...
Using http://www.luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/htmlparser-0.3.2-1.src.rock...
switching to 'build' mode
Missing dependencies for htmlparser:
lunitx >= 0.6
set >= 0.2
