I don't even get this far. A freshly built LPEG does not load.

LPeg 0.12.2-1 - Parsing Expression Grammars For Lua

LPeg is a new pattern-matching library for Lua, based on Parsing Expression
Grammars (PEGs). The nice thing about PEGs is that it has a formal basis
(instead of being an ad-hoc set of features), allows an efficient and simple
implementation, and does most things we expect from a pattern-matching library
(and more, as we can define entire grammars).
