When I install liblua5.1-0-dev, synaptic shows lua5.1.pc as an installed file.

Found with locate after updating database.

sudo updatedb && locate lua5.1.pc

glen@Raring:~$ sudo updatedb && locate lua5.1.pc

Okay, so fixed part of the problem. lua.pc was actually called lua5.1.pc, so I just made a symbolic link to it. However, my lua script requires cairo, and I can't seem to figure out which package should be installed to get these bindings. I have libcairo2 installed, and I also tried liblua5.1-oocairo0 and liblua5.1-oocairo-dev, but no luck. Anyone know? I think I'm close to getting it working now ...

EDIT: okay, got it working myself. For the record, here are all the packages I had to install to get it to work correctly:

libcairo2-devlibtolua-dev
libtolua++5.1-dev
liblua5.1-0-dev
libaudclient2
libimlib2
libxmmsclient6
libx11-dev
libncurses-dev
libxext-dev
libxdamage-dev
libxft-dev
libglib2.0-dev

Yikes, that's a lot.

Well, I can't help much with the lua, but I find that:

locate

works better at finding files

First use:

updatedb

to look through every file and puts in the locate data base, then use the locate command to search for the file again.

Having said that if you have an error with the file missing I imagine it might not be there anyway.

Sorry if this isn't what you needed to know, but just didn't know if you knew there's a better way to search for files...

It is said that find and locate do the same thing, find searches right then and takes longer and locate you have to build the database (which I run a script every start up to updatedb) first then use locate, locate is faster as long as you have an up to date db. But there have been times where find never finds a file and locate does so I don't know.


Sorry didn't see the posts above, must've been typing this right when they were....

May I have the scripts for these please?

Hi Sharang.d! You can find them all over at my favorite distro's Conky forum here.

Yeah probably so. Thanks for the help anyway. I have the required packages and fix for the lua.pc file documented now, so there shouldn't be a problem if I need to recompile sometime.
