500 Internal error when using lua-resty-string

[Ronneil Camara]

I tried lua-resty-string today - https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-string

I'm very new to LUA. I built an Nginx from source and compiled it with LuaJIT. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 

I got these errors

rcamara@nginx:~/repos/openresty-quickstart/logs$ tail -f error.log 

no file './resty/sha1.so'

no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/resty/sha1.so'

no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'

no file './resty.so'

no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/resty.so'

no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'

stack traceback:

coroutine 0:

[C]: in function 'require'

/home/rcamara/repos/openresty-quickstart/./lua/test.lua:1: in function </home/rcamara/repos/openresty-quickstart/./lua/test.lua:1>, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET /test HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"

There are no files in /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1 but this is what I see in /usr/local/lib

rcamara@nginx:~/repos/openresty-quickstart/logs$ ls -lrt /usr/local/lib

More info, not sure if it's useful for troubleshooting

What am I missing? I searched my whole file system but I didn't find sha1.so, resty.so and loadall.so

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
