The current location of my Lua library is in /lib64/liblua.so.5.1 : There was no liblua.so, had to create a symlink myself. : The system also has multiple versions of Lua installed... your code just happily accepted the headers from Lua 5.2, and started compiling with those. There's a good tool to solve this problem with: pkg-config. Debian already patches our project to make use of pkg-config, and I've successfully made use of it for Mudlet on OSX. We should transition our main project file to use pkg-config to solve this.
