LUA_ERRSYNTAX with luaL_dofile

[cynthia powers <powcyn@...>]

Hi,

 

I am very new to lua. and I am trying a c-calling-lua setup. I get an error : status = 3(LUA_ERRSYNTAX) to the luaL_dofile call below. WHat am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

 

int run_lua_block ()
{
    lua_State *L;
    L = lua_open();
    openlualibs(L);
    registerMyFunction (L);
    lua_settop (L,0);
    int status = luaL_dofile (L, "myfile.lua");
    lua_close(L);
    return status;
}

 

 

Thanks

cynthia.
