Hi Atri: Please run the "test_diff_psc" target to verify in detail what you have visually observed above. What this test does is automatically compare PostScript results from C standard examples with those same examples implemented in all our supported languages (including lua). Here are the lua-5.1 results of that test on my system: lua Missing examples : 00 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : which shows standard example 00 missing for lua, but for all other 30+ standard examples, lua and C results are the same. In fact, I would recommend running the test_diff_psc target or better yet the test_noninteractive target (which depends on test_diff_psc and also a few other smaller non-interactive test targets) for anyone interested in comprehensively checking their PLplot build. > > Thanks a lot for all the really nice help.

To complete this work I plan to update our build system to incorporate all the changes you have shown are required to get lua 5.2 to work, (with the added feature that I will use the lua -v command to determine which version of lua is installed so we don't have to keep maintaining version number lists). Once that works for me here with lua-5.1, I will ask you to do one further test of that unpatched updated build system there to make sure it continues to work for lua-5.2.
