I compiled pd-lua without problem with makefile.static. When I launch the lua-help.pd directly in the src/ subdirectory, that didn't worked. this directory contains both the patch, the lua.pd_darwin and the pd.lua
The problem arises because:
- lua-help.pd creates a [lua]
- pd loads lua.pd_darwin and calls lua_setup() in it
- lua_setup() doesn't know that it's being called by lua-help.pd so it doesn't know to look next to lua-help.pd to find pd.lua
- failure to find pd.lua means that no lua stuff will work

This is most easily solved by adding the directory that contains pd.lua to Pd's -path. For example, if you have:
/path/to/lua/lua.pd_darwin
/path/to/lua/pd.lua
Then do something equivalent to:
pd -path /path/to/lua -lib lua
Future versions of pdlua might fix this common issue (or at least document this workaround in the error message).
Thanks,
