Antonio,

I'm talking about submitting an RPM to fedora.redhat.com extras so
that FC5 users need only type "yum install lua" to get Lua, and "yum
update" to get the latest revision of lua once it has been installed.
The same should be done for Debian distros, but I confess I don't know
that procedure.  After you install FC5, type "yum install lua" as
root, and you'll see what I mean.
