It is failing because "luarocks path" didn't work for you (notice the
"zsh: no matches found:" errors). I use zsh myself and I've never had
any problems with this syntax. You might have some customizations in
your zsh that are making it try to match ? within single-quotes (that
is not standard bash or zsh behavior). Run "luarocks path" by itself
to see the command that it is trying to output.

If the "zsh: no matches found: " string is stored inside your
$LUA_PATH variable then things are certainly not going to work. Try
this at the shell:

export LUA_PATH='/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;./?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?/init.lua'
export LUA_CPATH='/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so'

Please also check that the file installed correctly at
/usr/lib64/lua/luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lpeg.so
