I have a Centos7 box and I need to install LuaSQL to be able to connect a MariaDB to it. I have installed Mariadb, Lua, and luarocks from yum. None of the software on this box is compiled.
I have installed MariaDB-devel and all the development tools. When I run: luarocks install luasql-mysql MYSQL_DIR=/usr/include/mysql/
I get the following error.
Any suggestions?
