Issue with finding lib-curl

[MrMic]

Hi,

Trying to make it works with AstroNvim and got this:

[rest.nvim] ERROR: lua-curl could not be found, therefore the cURL client will not work.

I got luarocks and got this:

` ❯ luarocks show lua-curl

Lua-cURL 0.3.13-1 - Lua binding to libcurl

License: MIT/X11 Homepage: https://github.com/Lua-cURL Installed in: /home/mic/.luarocks

Modules: cURL (/home/mic/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/cURL.lua) cURL.impl.cURL (/home/mic/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/cURL/impl/cURL.lua) cURL.safe (/home/mic/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/cURL/safe.lua) cURL.utils (/home/mic/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/cURL/utils.lua) lcurl (/home/mic/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lcurl.so)

Depends on: lua >= 5.1, < 5.5 (using 5.1-1) `

Any any? It is useless in that state... :disappointed:

Is your Lua package.cpath also configured for luarocks paths? It's the only explanation I see for why the bookstore can't be found, I should also document that in the checkhealth.

[MrMic]

idk What is package.cpath ? Where do I find it?

[NTBBloodbath]

What is package.cpath ?

Take a look at the package.cpath section in the Lua 5.1 manual :)

Where do I find it?

You could use luarocks path to find the LUA_CPATH environment variable from luarocks. The relevant information would be the last two values, here's an example from my luarocks installation (I'm using rocks.nvim so my luarocks paths are a bit different)

/home/amartin/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/home/amartin/.local/share/nvim/rocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so

Add something like this to your init.lua so Neovim will be able to find the shared libraries installed through luarocks (remember to replace PATHs with yours!):

package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";" .. "/home/amartin/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/home/amartin/.local/share/nvim/rocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so"

[MrMic]

Done in my init.lua as you requested it but got the issue... Nonetheless I indeed got: ` ❯ ll .luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lcurl.so

I have this issue on windows as well, it cant find: "xml2lua, lua-curl, mimetypes" and I've installed them outside of nvim, not sure why it cant find them.

Ive tried the solution at https://github.com/rest-nvim/rest.nvim/issues/306

Closing due to v3 release. rest.nvim doesn't use lib-curl anymore so this won't happen.
