I have *seriously* messed up my install of LuaRocks on my machine, to the point where LuaRocks jus does no work and "make bootstrap" is now failing (at root!): Error: /home/spc/apps/luarocks/rockspec: Mandatory field version is missing. make: *** [bootstrap] Error 1 [root]lucy:/home/spc/apps/luarocks> Also, a note about trying to install LuaRocks in a different prefix of the bootstrap one is not recommended at this time. -spc (Even recloning the git repo didn't fix the bootstrap problem ... ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
