Description Tim Jones 2014-10-04 16:23:07 UTC
Lua libraries built against lua-5.2 are installed into an incorrect directory. For me, they end up in /usr/lib64/lua, whereas lua5.2 looks for them in /usr/lib64/lua/5.2. (Libraries built against lua-5.1 end up in /usr/lib64/lua/5.1 and are found by lua5.1.)

I believe the problem arises from line 111 in lua-5.2.3-r1.ebuild, where a portage-provided lua.pc has the contents of variable V replaced with ${PATCH_PV}, which was only defined locally in src_prepare(). So lua5.2.pc ends up with an empty V, and so "$(pkg-config --variable INSTALL_CMOD lua)" (used by other ebuilds, e.g. lpeg and luaexpat) returns the incorrect /usr/lib64/lua when lua5.2.pc is in use thanks to eselect lua.

I did not test a modified ebuild, but libraries manually placed in /usr/lib64/lua/5.2 are successfully found by lua5.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. eselect lua set 5.2
2. emerge -1av lpeg
3. lua -e "require('lpeg')"
Actual Results:  
lua: (command line):1: module 'lpeg' not found:
	no field package.preload['lpeg']
	no file '/usr/share/lua/5.2/lpeg.lua'
	no file '/usr/share/lua/5.2/lpeg/init.lua'
	no file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.2/lpeg.lua'
	no file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.2/lpeg/init.lua'
	no file './lpeg.lua'
	no file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.2/lpeg.so'
	no file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.2/loadall.so'
	no file './lpeg.so'
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'require'
	(command line):1: in main chunk
	[C]: in ?


Expected Results:  
lua -e "require('lpeg')"
should print nothing, load lpeg successfully
Comment 1 Tim Jones 2014-10-04 21:09:28 UTC
Just to be clear, this does not effect only lpeg. It should effect all of these, because they determine their install directory in the same way:
grep -r --include='*.ebuild' /usr/portage/ -e 'INSTALL_CMOD lua'
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2015-02-22 13:11:50 UTC
Confirming the issue. V= in the pkgconfig is empty, which is wrong. According to Tim's investigation the fix should be simple.

See bug #534150 for a proposal how to build against multiple versions of Lua.
Comment 9 Marek Szuba archtester gentoo-dev 2020-09-01 17:09:43 UTC
dev-lang/lpeg-1.0.2 correctly installs its files into /usr/share/lua/x.y/ and /usr/lib64/lua/x.y/ , for both 5.2 and 5.3
