So I quit using my own build of lua-5.1.4 and had my system
folks install an official lua-5.1.4 and all worked great.

Not sure why that would matter, but it did.

its valid.

Anyway, someone should updated the wiki book..

I love this program, but sorry this is such a lame question.. I just downloaded the latest cvs snapshot and cannot get started.. I assume one must use Makefile.cvs to get configure, etc... but I can't even get that far: [logan@envision celestia.cvs]$ make all make: *** No rule to make target `all'. ...
