I use tarball wxLua-2.8.10.0-src.tar.gz from sourceforge.net

wx2.8 v. 2.8.10.1-3 sid package

LUA v. 5.1.4-5 sid package
The compilation configure returned it is using the system LUA, not the
embedded one.

In fact I compiled an LUA 5.1 some months ago, but I destroyed it when sid
was updated.
As compilation was put into /usr/local I erased all LUA related files/dirs
before sid packages installation.

I also installed a bunch of rocks, acknowledging when it asked to replace
some files/rocks with newer ones (may be I should stick to a basic install
and only use rocks?)

The only modif I made to the regular compilation was:
./configure --with-wxstedit-prefix=/usr/src/LOCAL/WXLUA/wxstedit

I attached (permitted?) the ldd result: everything looks fine.

If you don't have any other tracking advice, I'll consider to uninstall LUA
and all its components this WE; chase all possible files and erase them,
then restart from scratch (which will be a PITA because I also use many
addons, such as MAPM, classlib, etc and some are long to compile.)

I'll test w/ a genuine install, and if it works, restart to install
libs & rocks and retest between each install to see what going on.

Do you advise restarting with an LUA tarball or can I stick to the packages?
(I mean LUA *AND* libs [some might be overwritten by some rocks])
