I'll take a look at this. > Well maybe not completely odd, because what I did was that I used a different IPKG repository, one that does contain the GCC compiler (unstable), installed it, and ran the luarocks installation of luasockets again. This compiled the library, but with enough warnings to be sure it won't work. So I guess LuaRocks got the final verdict 'succeeded' on the make and assumed all to be well.

Ugly, I know. :( > As the binaries are there, can I also replace the current binaries on the NAS (as build by LuaRocks) with the ones I got properly compiled? Or will there also be MD5 clashes that will prevent it from working? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
