Glad things worked out for you. I may be a bit dogmatic in using my sandboxed script for Lua/Luarocks, but that's precisely why I do it.. nothing else in the system can mess with the Lua installation, and nothing ever leaks out of it. And with Lua being such a small installation, it's almost silly not to replicate this when necessary. Good feedback on the general install process in this thread. - Jim _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
