You have to put the modules where they are going to be found.
LuaSocket looks for the binary core as 'socket.core', so it should be
installed here::

/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket/core.so

Which does depend on your actual module path, try

$ lua -e "print(package.cpath)"

to see what directory path your Lua is searching.

Remember the rule: in that string, '?' is replaced with the module
name, with any '.' replaced with '/'.
