Package: luatex Version: 0.70.1-1+b1 Severity: wishlist
Hi, This should possibly be filed against texlive-luatex. Please redirect as appropriate. When using luatex on Debian, it does not automatically find lua modules that are installed on the system as part of a regular lua installation. Since (I believe) it is possible for luatex to use these modules if it sees them, it would be nice if either this worked out of the box, or configuration instructions were provided to Debian luatex users. This issue came up in the context of the following tex.sx question - http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/48193/reading-data-from-a-relational-database-into-a-latex-table When I attempted to import Lua bindings for sqlite, apparently in liblua5.1-sql-sqlite3-2, the luatex interpreter was unable to find them. I'm using the TeX Live 2012 beta from experimental - see version information below. TeX Live 2009 in stable clearly would not suffice for Patrick's example in http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/48233/3406 as it doesn't contain luacode.sty. I tried the simple and obvious of approach of copying what seems to be the correct .so files into the current directory, but that didn't work either. These may have been the wrong files; I copied liblua5.1-sql-sqlite3.so.2.0.0 from the liblua5.1-sql-sqlite3-2 package. The other two .so files in that package are symbolic links of that one, so I made put three copies of the same file in there with their different names, in case it made a difference. But it didn't. See also http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14361/installing-lua-modules-for-use-in-lualatex and http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42878/installing-lua-modules-for-use-in-lualatex-the-sequel In the comments of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14361/installing-lua-modules-for-use-in-lualatex someone suggested setting the CLUAINPUTS path. Is this a viable approach? I don't know where or what to set it to, though. This bug - http://bugs.debian.org/441595 looks vaguely related. I might ask the Luatex people about this as well.
