Problem installing dependency '30log >= 0.9.1' about luacheck HOT 8 CLOSED

Hello! This is a bug in the old version of luarocks which is installed with apt-get. Try upgrading to luarocks 2.2.0 or at least luarocks 2.1.2, this should help.

from luacheck.

Thanks for your fast response! I have a new problem now though. Before I have to sign up to yet another mailing list, maybe you can help me. I ran the luarocks config with ./configure --with-lua=/usr
and installed. Now I get this:

sudo luarocks install luacheck
sudo: unable to execute /usr/local/bin/luarocks: No such file or directory

I do have a symlink /usr/local/bin/luarocks that points to /usr/local/bin/luarocks-5.1

Do you know off the top of your head what's going on here?

from luacheck.

No, unfortunately I don't, never had this kind of problem. You can create an issue at the luarocks repo: https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks.

Thanks. I have opened an issue over there luarocks/luarocks#293

from luacheck.

This is solved now. The reason was that lua5.1-dev doesn't imply that lua 5.1 is installed. Now I have luarocks 2.2. 0 installed. There is another thing that might be tweaked a bit though. I had the following missing dependencies:

Missing dependencies for luacheck:
metalua-parser >= 0.7.3-2
checks >= 1.0
argparse >= 0.3.0
ansicolors >= 1.0-1
luafilesystem >= 1.6.2

Error: Could not satisfy dependency: metalua-parser >= 0.7.3-2

Trying to install metalua-parserfirst failed, but it did succeed after I installed the other packages, So, maybe it could be moved down the list?

Everything's working now though. Thanks a lot for your help :)

from luacheck.

No problem, good to know it works :) That other problem with installing metalua-parser is strange, with what message did it fail?

from luacheck.

Oh. It just "couldn't satisfy dependency". Strange. Anyway, dependency on metalua is going to be removed in next release, so hopefully this problem will go away, too.

Glad you found the mesage, because I hadn't kept it. Thanks again for your help.
