Hello,
is it possible to install a rock so that the installed libraries (lua
and native files) are automatically in the LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH?
I read this page: http://www.luarocks.org/en/Using_LuaRocks

where it says:
"If you installed the Lua interpreter bundled with LuaRocks on
Windows, or if you built both Lua and LuaRocks on Unix with the
default paths, the default library path settings will be already
appropriate."

I'm not in the first scenario.
I'm on a ubuntu (9.04/10.04), and I don't know the built options used
to compile the lua package. The only thing I know is that the default
paths are like this:

$lua
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print(package.path)
./?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua
> print(package.cpath)
./?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so
>


Am I supposed to ask my users to modify by hand their paths, or can I
do something inside the rockspec file to fix this?

Thanks,
Valerio
