lua_dofile is deprecated. In Lua 5.0 the "primitive" operation is simply
lua_load. So you need the auxlib (and therefore luaxlib.h) to get
luaL_loadfile. The auxlib also implements the old lua_dofile, but this
is only for compatibility, and will be removed in future versions.
You should try to use luaL_loadfile (plus lua_pcall).
