Re: LuaMongo Question

[Evan Wies]

Hi Haley,

You are the second person to do this...

The mongodb cxx-driver is new thing -- luamongo doesn't use it (but maybe it should when the driver is more official). 

luamongo uses the C++ header/libs from the main mongodb installation.   It looks like you are on debian/ubuntu, so install mongodb-dev.  Or build it and install from source.   And don't install the cxx-driver with "sudo cp libmongoclient.* /usr/lib"

Good luck,
Evan

Neil or Evan,
I have been trying to get luamongo installed and working properly for a while 
now and I am at a loss as to why it isn't working. The instructions 
I followed to get it installed are below. They seemed to work, meaning I 
received no errors, but when I create a .lua file and try to run it, it says 
"require:command not found" and if I try it in lua shell it says "loop or previous
error loading module 'mongo'". Any thoughts as to why this will not work?

Thank you,
Haley Sibley
