Not to belabor the point, but I did mention it, but perhaps my
description was convoluted.

I mean require("muro") find muro.so.  The trouble is in loading
muro.so, the libmuro.so dependency is not resolved.  All things
Lua-related in this case are working fine, which is what I meant in my
previous message.

Yes.  This is not the problem.

good to know.

I'll test these later in the week as I'm no longer on the same
machine.  I usually work on OSX, and there are some things dealing
with shared libs on ubuntu that just don't translate.  Thanks for the
pointers, I'll see what I can find out.
