Hi Thijs, Philipp and Tomas,
So far I believe I solved the problem, which I had first thought about and
the 3 of you confirmed it (thanks). Actually, I did an manual update of
luarocks (from an old version 2.0.2 to newest), but wrongly parametrised
the trees, so that when luasql-postgres got installed, the structure
became a mess (I actually mentioned this briefly in a former post, with
"luarocks list" not returning all my rocks anymore). I even had the
solution before (moving the postgres.dll file to the initial luasql rock
folder) but hadn't realised it. What I did now was simply take everything
down, and reinstall lua, luarocks and luasql-postgres. The last 2 errors I
mentioned then didn't show up anymore. The update from Philipp was still
necessary, though.
Sorry I didn't come back to you directly, but now I'm stuck with (yet)
another problem, an error message stating that an ordinal in libeay32.dll
could not be located. I've tried to find a solution since then, and wanted
to reply to the post once luasql-postgres was behaving normally. Let's see
if I can solve this one ;¬).
But thanks to the three of you as well as Hisham for your support and your
reactivity!
Cheers,
Alex

@alexandre; can you post the installer output as I requested, that would
give the exact order in which files are being searched for and found by
the installer iirc.
