Okay, I got it working. All I had to do was:
* Remove all evidance that LuaRocks had been installed
* Remove all evidance that LuaJIT had been installed
* Remove all evidance that Lua had been install
* Reinstall Lua
* mkdir $HOME/.lurocks
* reinstall previous config file there
* ./configure LuaRocks
* make bootstrap
And it worked after all that.
