I cannot find where lua-devel installs on

  • 772

I am running Amazon EC2. I am trying to install lua-devel but I cannot find where it intalls to.

sudo yum install lua-devel

Returns

Package lua-devel-5.1.4-4.1.7.amzn1.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Then

cat /usr/lib/liblua.a

But returns 

cat: /usr/lib/liblua.a: No such file or directory

Do you know the directory lua-devel installs to?

amazon-ec2

  1. Best Answer

    rpm -q --filesbypkg lua-devel

    It'll be in /usr/lib64, since it's a 64-bit package. You'll want to yum install lua-devel.i[36]86, depending on what version of RHEL/CentOS/whatever you're running if you need 32-bit libraries for Lua.

  2. Did you try to use the locate comand (in addition of a updatedb call) ? 

    locate liblua.a
>>> list of pathes where liblua.a were found

    should tell you where it is installed.
