Where did you download Lua 5.1 from?

I'm guessing that you are on MS Windows?
That is surprising and not normal unless you have run some installer
(perhaps the Lua 5.1 you speak of) that changed the default
application to "open" *.lua files. wxLua does not change any file
associations, registry entries, and takes the position of causing the
least harm to people machines.
It sounds like you are using someone else's lua.exe to require("wx"),
meaning that the wx.dll will be loaded by lua.exe to provide the wxLua
functionality. In order for this to work, without error, the lua.exe
and wx.dll MUST be compiled using the SAME version and Lua 5.1
compilation settings. This requirement is nothing special to wxLua,
but applies to dlls in general, they must all be "binary" compatible
with each other. Note that slight mismatches between exes and dlls can
lead to arbitrary crashes and this is why I do not recommend it.
I DO recommend running the wxLua samples using the lua.exe that is
provided by the wxLua binary packages since it is definitely binary
compatible with wx.dll.
Welcome to wxLua, I hope you enjoy it,
