Hi,
I've been trying without success for a while to compile and install /usr/pkgsrc/net/lua-socket It tells me it installed correctly, I've installed it for lua 5.3, I had to manually update the LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH variables, but now when I go to load the module through require("socket") it throws an error:

Lua 5.3.2  Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> require("socket")
error loading module 'socket' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.3/usr/pkg/share/lua/5.3/': /usr/lib/lua/5.3/usr/pkg/share/lua/5.3/:1: unexpected symbol near '<\205>'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in ?
        [C]: in function 'require'
        stdin:1: in main chunk
        [C]: in ?

This has happened when I used the source from pkgsrc and downloaded from git.


Does anyone else have this issue or is it local to my machine?
