Hello Hisham,

thanks a lot for sorting that out. I forgot about the "complex" dependency.

I think it would be a good idea to add "numlua" to the luarocks repositories
in the future. For that I will try to contact the author and maybe we can
figure out a good way to that. It would be probably even better to get
together and merge some of the additional numeric code that is out there
into a reasonable numeric library.

Stay tuned. Regards.
Benjamin
