Hi Steve, Which repository are you using? Orbit 2.1.0 on http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks, the default repository for the latest version of LuaRocks 2, installs the binary launcher. Could you have been using an outdated version of LuaRocks that goes to the old LuaForge repository?
By the way, the new default repository also has a verison of LuaSQL-SQLite3. You still need SQLite headers, but not git. Distributing binaries is certainly non-trivial in the Linux world. :-) -- Fabio Mascarenhas On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 10:20 AM, steve donovan <steve.j.dono...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 1:40 PM, steve donovan > <steve.j.dono...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Sorry for the bitch & moan but things could be so much simpler... > > Yes, I'm sorry about the tone of the post; I did get Orbit running > fine under xavante after all, although there _appears_ to be a missing > file: the actual orbit loader script.
