Another question about Gin start(Symbol not found: _luaL_setfuncs) about gin HOT 8 CLOSED

sorry, but your env is messed up since it is using Lua 5.2 and gin rockspec says it is Lua 5.1 only! openresty is Lua 5.1 (luajit)

as you stated, gin installation guide uses lua package from brew repositories, as I can see lua package was upgraded to version 5.2 roughly 12 months ago.

I cannot confirm this (since I do not own a macintosh), but I think your luarocks installation is using your local lua (5.2) not luajit vm.

you should consider using luajit only or luajit with lua51 packages together.

please let us now if it works, if so documentation need to be upgraded :D

+1 for @leite s comment

from gin.

it's a lua version problem, use lua5.1 will fix this, @leite you mean gin base on lua5.1? but in the [rockspec], it says

dependencies = {
    "lua = 5.2",

from gin.

sure @idevz it is Lua 5.2 sorry :|

but openresty is Lua 5.1 (luajit) and not compatible with Lua 5.2 and agentzh made that clear in #204, #343 and #354

I set up a fork with busted 2 and make that work with Lua 5.2, see: travis/leite/gin and I'm afraid it wont interop with openresty.

@ostinelli should switch to Lua 5.1 or remove it as proposed in #27.

from gin.

Still having >= 5.1 in my fork, but @leite is right: in reality only = 5.1 could interoperate with OpenRESTY. I never realized that, though, because I am using a custom build (using LuaJIT only and a non-global luarocks setup), like agentzh does.

from gin.

yes, Base on Luajit Openresty get such a highly performance, and Luajit base on lua5.1, thus Gin is better to use only lua5.1.

Thank you all for this contribution.

I've also updated the installation docs.
