oh well, lua might not link libraries to binaries :)

I guess the libraries are somewhat opened in the lines below
"local lfs = require "lfs"" <<- lua-filesystem
"local lpeg = require "lpeg"" <<- lua-lpeg

but I don't think you are actually opening the sofiles but the .lua version
http://www.lua.org/pil/8.1.html
(require keyword)

also please check the "luaL_openlibs" function in the source code.

there are many "require" in the code, I would check all of them :)

cheers,
