Because those symbols are part of libwireshark library (not the GUI) and
are not exported. So you cannot access them.
Not sure what you are trying to do here, but prsumably they should be
declared with the WS_DLL_PUBLIC attribute (you will need to include
ws_symbol_export.h file to get its definition).
I personally do not know anything about Lua, so I do not know if you can
safely create a new instance like this (some comments in the code suggest
that only a single Lua state is supported) but this sounds hacky and scary.
