Re: LuaSockets on an embedded platform.

[Michael Broughton <mbobowik@...>]

Hello again,

I am having some trouble with this and I am not sure why. Here is an 
example of what is happening:

/> lua
Lua 5.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2006 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> sock = require("socket")
/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket.lua:13: module 'socket.core' not found:
       no field package.preload['socket.core']
       no file './socket/core.lua'
       no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket/core.lua'
       no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket/core/init.lua'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket/core.lua'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket/core/init.lua'
       no file './socket/core.so'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket/core.so'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
       no file './socket.so'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket.so'
       no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'

       stdin:1: in main chunk

The package.preload["socket.core"] is supposed to be the function 
"luaopen_socket_core", correct? Or is it supposed to be the result of 
calling that function?
