Re: Problems using luarocks

[meino.cramer@...]

Hi Hisham,

Thank you for your help! 8)

got it! :)

The trick seems to be as follows:

Start vim and load .zshrc
Postition the cursor where you want your definition of LUA_PATH and
LUA_CPATH

Type:
:r! luarocks path<RETURN>

Save the file

Leave the terminal

Restart the terminal....and.....

Voila! Lua works!

Best regards,
mcc
