Wrong configuration on 64bit

[Vadim Peretokin]

Binary package hint: luarocks

On a 64bit ubuntu, lua rocks are installed with a 32bit configuration. For example, luarocks/cfg.lua says " local LUAROCKS_UNAME_M=[[i686]]".

This causes issues when compiling programs, as the compiling will fail.

This bug is not fixed in Karmic Koala with the newer LuaRocks version.

Thanks to the original poster, now I know how to "fix" it.
