Can't find magick on luarocks

booyaa commented 8 years ago

Sample output from luarocks search -allcan be found this gist

using LuaRocks 2.2.2 on OSX (installed via lua homebrew package)

Since magick is only for luajit, it only shows up for luarocks running lua 5.1. Chances are you're luarocks is set up for a newer version of lua.

Cheers, I'll downgrade!

Update: For anyone else in a similar situation, you can install lua 5.1 and luarocks using brew install lua51.

❯ brew install lua51
Warning: Formula lua51 was renamed to lua@5.1.
Error: lua@5.1 has been disabled because it is deprecated upstream!

😢 Any chance of getting support for newer lua versions?

On Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 I ran into the same issue:

$ sudo luarocks install magick

Error: No results matching query were found for Lua 5.3.

But trying to install for 5.1 also fails

$ sudo luarocks install --lua-version=5.1 magick
Warning: Lua 5.1 interpreter not found at /usr

Modules may not install with the correct configurations. You may want to configure the path prefix to your build of Lua 5.1 using

   luarocks config --local lua_dir <your-lua-prefix>

Installing https://luarocks.org/magick-1.6.0-1.src.rock

Error: Failed finding Lua header files. You may need to install them or configure LUA_INCDIR.

The solution:

sudo apt install lua5.1
luarocks install --lua-version=5.1 magick

Note no sudo on the final luarocks install.
