Example 37: error loading module 'iuplua' from file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\clibs\iuplua51.dll' The specified module could not be found.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To reproduce, use Windows 7 64-bit and the LuaForWindows_v5.1.4-40.exe 
installer. Then go to example 37. The following appears:

failed to load & run sample code
error loading module 'iuplua' from file 'C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Lua\5.1\clibs\iuplua51.dll':
        The specified module could not be found.


This kind of breaks the example a little bit, as you can see. See the attached 
log for the full screen output.

I checked out the file. It's definitely there. The file itself doesn't have any 
version information on it. The date modified was 6/25/2010 10:08PM if that 
helps at all.

Godamn u ppl, just put another info in the example, "if you launched it from 
installation this example will not work because the environment variable wasnt 
set", or something like that

please advice about restart, as I start learning lua today and doesn't know that it need reboot, I think that something installed wrong, and with a message on examples avoid to think that something was installed wrongly (example 37, external libraries)

Hello, After checking the required paths, I'm still having the same issue
running this code from ZeroBrane studio, from the command line or from SciTE gives the same problem:

module 'iuplua' not found, or attempt to call a nil value, ... etc.

I have
LUA_CPATH=C:\Lua5.1\clibs?.dll;
PATH = C:\Lua5.1;C:\Lua5.1\clibs; ....

USING Lua 5.1 installed from "Lua from windows"

I've already rebooted.

Thanks in advance,

Roger

Fixed the issue reinstalling lua for windows and making sure that my PATH environment variable is not too long... I hope it helps.
