the ebuild only modifies etc/lua.pc to make lua find packages in ${EPREFIX}/usr ("# We want packages to find our things..."). I had to extend this section in the ebuild to also modify src/luaconf.h on my opensolaris machines because $EPREFIX/usr/bin/lua was still looking in /usr/local instead of $EPREFIX/usr. patch follows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-lang/lua-5.1.4-r[46] 2. ${EPREFIX}/usr/bin/lua -l foo Actual Results: $EPREFIX/usr/bin/lua: module 'foo' not found: no field package.preload['socket'] no file './socket.lua' no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket.lua' no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/socket/init.lua' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket.lua' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket/init.lua' no file './socket.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/socket.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so' stack traceback: [C]: ?
