Kong startup throws Symbol not found: _fastsearch in mac osx

[tamizhgeek]

Hi,

I tried to setup a kong dev env using the instructions here : https://github.com/Mashape/kong/blob/master/README.md

While doing [sudo] make dev, I am getting this error

bin/kong migrations -c kong_DEVELOPMENT.yml up
lua: error loading module 'stringy' from file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/stringy.so':

make: *** [dev] Error 1

OS: Mac OSX Yosemite
Lua : 5.1
Luarocks: 2.2.1
Kong: Latest master

Google didn't help. Tried using lua 5.2, but that was throwing incompatible errors during make install itself. Any help is highly appreciated!

Some additional information:

Kong depends on multipart, which inturn depends on stringy 0.2-1
Kong itself also has a direct dependency on stringy 0.4-1.

I uninstalled the stringy 0.4-1 rock manually, and then things started to work just fine.

@tamizhgeek that is very weird - I am running on OS X Yosemite too, Lua 5.1.4, Luarocks 2.2.2 and never seen that error before - I need to investigate

@thefosk What is the stringy version you have? Also, why is there a explicit dependency of stringy tied to version 0.4 in the rockspec? I removed it, and things are working just fine.

I am using stringy 0.4-1 which should be the proper version to have as version 0.2-1 has some serious bugs on some functions and will be soon removed from Kong.

0.4-1 is also the latest version of stringy.
