Ah, I missed that part.

You do not build dynamic libraries like this on OS X. :-)

The second code snippet looks closer to reality.

My other guess is that he probably accidentaly used the wrong .so file.

To check if the file was compiled correctly, he may use "file"
command. The correct output for x86_64:

$ file /usr/local/lib/luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so
/usr/local/lib/luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

HTH,
Alexander.
