--lua-version=5.2 is not a flag for luarocks, but a flag for the LuaRocks configure script when installing the tool itself. > Having "lua/5.1" in the load paths was very promising concerning lua version > change (ruby people need strange tools like rbenv to solve this).

Doug's suggestion works (running as lua5.2 `which luarocks` ...)
