I would remove luarocks from both installed locations, and clear both of your rocks trees. When I am writing applications, particularly for the web I ALWAYS install a new copy of both lua and luarocks, to keep them separate from everything else in my system. It also helps immensely with troubleshooting. Create a directory that you want to include your application and environment. Create a file install.sh and add the following script to that file: http://snipt.net/jnwhiteh/install-lua-and-luarocks-into-a-sandboxed-directory/ Run this shell script, which will take care of downloading lua and luarocks and installing them into your current directory. Once that's all done, you'll have a sandboxed lua/luarocks installation. To add a rock, use ./sandbox/bin/luarocks install wsapi Now to use this Lua/Luarocks, just point your hello.lua to it directly. If you post that, I can help you with it as well. - Jim _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
