it seems pdlua is only looking for the "so" extension in /usr/local/lib... creating a symlink without the extension solved this for now. marius.
aha, many thanks for the additional info! - seems that this is a bug in pdlua after all:
when pdlua loads a script it sets Lua's package path like this:
/* package.path := path .. "/?;" .. path .. "/?.lua;" .. package.path */
I'm not sure the best way to fix this, the standalone 'lua' interpreter doesn't mention .so in the package path at all:
Lua's package has a different key for binary, C-modules called package.cpath, which corresponds to the environment variable LUA_CPATH.
I think, this is something which changed from Lua 5.0 to Lua 5.1, at least it isn't mentioned in the first edition of the Blue PiL (online on lua.org). If you don't have the second edition, you can get the rewritten chapter 15 as a pdf-excerpt here: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/chapter15.pdf
Here's the relevant part:
If require cannot find a Lua file compatible with the module name, it looks for a C library. For this search, it gets the path from variable package.cpath (instead of package.path). This variable gets its initial value from the environment variable LUA_CPATH (instead of LUA_PATH). A typical value for this variable in Unix is like this:
./?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so
Note that the file extension is defined by the path (e.g., the previous example uses .so for all templates). In Windows, a typical path is more like this one:
.\?.dll;C:\Program Files\Lua501\dll\?.dll
