Re: installing Lua 5.1 on AIX 5.2

[mfmorss@...]

Actually, gcc would not produce dummy.so, issuing the message from "ld"
that ".lua_pushnil" is an undefined symbol.

If the linking went ok then at least dlopen and friends were found.
The question is whether dynamic loading is working, not merely enabled.
So try this in src/:

% cat >dummy.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "lua.h"

int luaopen_dummy (lua_State *L) {
  puts("hello from dummy");
  lua_pushnil(L);
  return 0;
}

(hit ^D here)

% gcc -o dummy.so -shared dummy.c
% lua -v -ldummy

If you see "hello from dummy", all is well.
If you see "undefined symbol: lua_pushnil", then dynamic loading is not
working.
