Try the newest "bin" snapshot here: http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/download/ The output to a message box is a MSW thing... it doesn't have a real console so printf typically goes nowhere. I'll test it out to see what happens, maybe something better can be made like a non modal dialog with a textctrl in it. > wxluaeditor: > * very nice editor, lacks project-grouping and saving of workspace (minor > annoyance) > * only break-point debugger, no single-step (major annoyance) This is basically an editor that just does a dostring("editor contents") for lua so it's pretty dumb. I have plans to add the full debugging as the wxLua program has, but I want to get the socket code really cleaned up first. > * does not run all code that works in wxlua (very strange).

It would help to know what code is at and around line 94 in use_luaunit.lua and line 346 in luaunit.lua for example. If you can make the smallest possible code sample that displays the problem I can look into it.
