The "lbn" library by Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo is described as a "fast integer-only arbitrary precision library"; see
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/#lbn for a link to the source. I downloaded the tar.gz file and managed to compile the package's
code into a lua library file called "bn.so", using either Lua 5.2.3 or LuaTeX 0.76 as the "Lua executable". Running the
little test program that comes with the package, either via "lua test.lua" or via "luatex test.lua", also works without
a hitch.
I would like to be able to use this library in a Lua(La)TeX document. Consider
the following MWE:
% !TEX TS-program = lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luacode} % for 'luacode' environment
\begin{luacode}
require "bn" -- load 'bn' library
\end{luacode}
\begin{document}
Hello World.
\end{document}
Unfortunately, things aren't going smoothly. Here are some excerpts from the
