Can't reproduce, what versions of Lua and LuaRocks do you use?

[JuanRuiz]

hi mpeterv,
versions are
lua 5.1 and LuaRocks 2.2.2

[ignacio]

Couldn't reproduce with Lua 5.1 and LuaRocks 2.3.0

[JuanRuiz]

I'm using LuaRocks 2.2.2

[ignacio]

Can you give 2.3.0 a try? What other rocks do you have installed? (luarocks list)

[JuanRuiz]

Hi,
I can use lua but I can't luarocks.
I want to install cgilua, "luarocks install cgilua"

FYI the same error here trying to install lua-mosquitto on OpenWRT.

root@OpenWRT:~# luarocks install lua-mosquitto

Error: LuaRocks 2.2.2 bug (please report at https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/issues).

Running Lua 5.1 and Luarocks 2.2.2. as unfortunately that's what the openwrt package is.

[hishamhm]

@wardg32 can you re-run the command with --verbose and paste the full output? (you may use https://gist.github.com for that)

[wardg32]

Here you go, hope it helps.

On this moment Luarocks (version 2.2.2) does not work for all Lua packages on OpenWRT.

@che see https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20821

[che]

Thank a lot!

[Onuonga]

Did anyone ever get a way of solving this? It seems from the above post that the version(s) of lua are different. I would not mind following up with the openwrt team and specifically whoever maintains Lua there.

[mpeterv]

Looking at the ticket above this is indeed an issue with openwrt and their team knows (the ticket is still open though). Closing as not a luarocks bug.
