Has no support for luarocks native libraries?

[osp54]

When I try to load this code:

local lfs = require("lfs")

It gives an error:

error loading module 'lfs' from file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so':
        /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/lfs.so: undefined symbol: lua_gettop

But when I run it in a normal lua interpreter, it's fine:

Thanks for reporting! No, I don't think loading external native libraries is supported now (although implementing it should be quite straightforward).

On Linux (or POSIX systems), JVM loads external libraries with dlopen without the RTLD_GLOBAL flag, causing the undefined symbol error. To fix this, we will need to load the library with that flag at some point, which might require tweaking the jnigen library (the library we use for multi-platform JNI) a bit. (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/54698767/17780636 .) I will try to implement it if I find the time.

No time at all? :(
