Lua error

[ShwethaMurali]

Hi, I already had zlib, lzo installed before by the admins, and installed Lua 5.1, but not in /usr/local/lib/ .
I downloaded kyoto, but when I do 'make' , it errors out with :
checking kccommon.h usability... yes
checking kccommon.h presence... yes
checking for kccommon.h... yes
checking lua.h usability... no
checking lua.h presence... no
checking for lua.h... no
configure: error: lua.h is required
make: *** [kyototycoon/Makefile] Error 1

how do I let the Makefile know where to look for lua (i.e not in /usr/local/lib/ ) ?

If you use my fork (https://github.com/carlosefr/kyoto), you can pass KT_OPTIONS="--enable-lua --with-lua=your_path_to_lua" to the Makefile (or disable Lua altogether).

thanks for your fork, @carlosefr . Unfortunately when I add KT_OPTIONS="--enable-lua --with-lua=/path/to/lua" I get the following:

./configure --prefix="/scratch/groups/pritch/software" --with-kc="/scratch/groups/pritch/software" "--enable-lua
--with-lua=/share/software/user/open/lua/5.3.4"
configure: error: invalid feature name: lua --with-lua
make: *** [kyototycoon/Makefile] Error 1

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The problem is the Makefile is taking the content of KT_OPTIONS as a single option instead of an option list. While it isn't fixed you can try with just --with-lua, or editing the KT_OPTIONS variable inside the Makefile.
