    trunk$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/lua /bin/lua trunk$ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin ./configure Lua version detected: 5.2 Lua interpreter found: /bin/lua... Looking for lua.h at //include/lua.h...not found Looking for lua.h at //include/lua/5.2/lua.h...not found Looking for lua.h at //include/lua5.2/lua.h...not found Looking for lua.h at //include/lua/lua.h...not found Looking for lua.h at //include/lua/lua.h...not found lua.h not found. You may want to use the flag --with-lua or --with-lua-include. See --help. configure failed. Happens on CentOS 7

  2. Robert Scheck on

    On CentOS 7, /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin due to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove (note that CentOS 7 has Lua 5.1, not 5.2). The workaround for the EPEL package is --prefix=/usr for ./configure in prosody.spec.

  3. Zash on

    Workaround added in https://hg.prosody.im/trunk/rev/c8646f65767a
