Need help in Connecting to MySQL

[T Poojita/CHN/TCS <t.poojita@...>]

Hi Users,
 I have been learning Lua recently and trying to connect to a local MySQL Database.

Lua has been installed in my Linux machine at location /usr/local/

    Lua 5.2.3  Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

I downloaded Luasql package from github and installed using makefile. The below path /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql contains 

the below files related to MySQL.

    ls_mysql.c
    mysql.def

When I try to run a sample mysql program I get the following error.

lua: testing.lua:3: module 'luasql.mysql' not found:
        no field package.preload['luasql.mysql']
        no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql.lua'
        no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql/init.lua'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql.lua'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql/init.lua'
        no file './luasql/mysql.lua'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql/mysql.so'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so'
        no file './luasql/mysql.so'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/luasql.so'
        no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so'
        no file './luasql.so'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'require'
        testing.lua:3: in main chunk
        [C]: in ?		

Request your kind support, as how to configure Lua to use luasql in connecting to MySQL.
Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Poojita
