There is no global accepted rule where to install lua.
I compiled/installed luajit on ARM-Linux and your directory tree becomes
created in /usr/local/. Thats ok for me. Luadist makefiles does not
recognize the installed juajit and do not cooperate with it. So it does
not matter where you pull your module sources: you need to modify the
makefiles anyway. After playing with Lua for a year on windows & Linux,
i know there is no widely accepted way to name installed files and no
widely accepted rule where to store the installed files.
So if you want to set up your own running lua environment: "Roll your
Own!" Thats state of the art. And as long each developer / each distro
keeps creating own rules it will keep being this way.

But at least the defaults should work out-of-the-box, no?
