Hey gang,

Just when I thought I had it working, I ran into the following situation.

I've built Luafilesystem (lfs) as a shared object per my previous email.
The shared library is found at /usr/local/lib. My Lua installation is 
found at /home/root/lua-5.1-work6. Inside that directory, I have a 
directroy entitled scripts which contains the file lfs.lua, with the 
following contents:

local path = "/usr/local/lib/liblfs.1.0.so"
local f = assert(loadlib(path, "luaopen_lfs"))
local lfs = f()

I launch a Lua intrepreter, say from my home directory (/home/Pimmel). I 
check my LUA_PATH environment using os.getenv, yielding the following:

?;?.lua;/home/root/lua-5.1w6/scripts/?.lua

I try typing:
> require"lfs"

...I get an error saying that lfs is not found. I know I'm doing something 
slightly braindead here, but I'm not hitting the solution by my random 
testing. If I execute within the /home/root/lua-5.1w6/scripts directory 
and use require"lfs", all is well and fine. Additionally, if I launch lua 
from /usr/local/lib and use require"lfs", all appears fine as well. Any 
insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith
