module 'luarocks.cfg' not found
I installed loverocks and attempted to create a new project (actually, I tried running it with --help and -h first to try to understand it better first), and I continually get the same error:
/usr/bin/lua5.1: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/loverocks/unzip.lua:26: module 'luarocks.cfg' not found:No LuaRocks module found for luarocks.cfg

hmm, it looks like since I last updated luarocks released a major version. I'm not sure how much work it'll be to fix all the places where we directly hook into luarocks but I'll try to get to it sometime soon: in the meantime though things won't work :(
same here. I am using msys2 + mingw64 on windows7, all lua and luarocks are installed by command like
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-lua
there is no error message during installation but when I run
$ luarocks install iuplua
