Use of luars232.lua

[Luís Caruso <luiscaruso@...>]

I'm translating a collection of lua scripts from lua-for-windows to lua running in Ubuntu. 
I found this libraries librs232.so and luars232.so form Peter Stetiar very used by many projects, but they are not available as binaries. (I try to search very hard). 
And I think that not just this two pieces sufice to get Lua accessing the serial port. I think that other libraries or hard or soft links be necessary to make the thing go.
I thought that if there is a place where this kind of library is used is by the Lua community, so I'm asking to you, if anybody have used them and how should I proceed to get it running in my machine.

Thank you very much
