The error message says main() occurred multiple times while it shouldn't 
have. This makes sense considering you've tried to compile 1) your 
program, 2) the Lua interpreter and 3) the Lua bytecode compiler all at 
once (they all have a main() function). If you take a look at 
lua-5.1.3/src/Makefile you'll see that you need different source code 
files for the Lua library vs. the interpreter vs. the compiler. So just 
pick the source code files needed to compile the library and import 
those but leave the other files out (at least lua.c and luac.c).

HTH and good luck,
