[Nix-dev] lua without popen

[Florian Friesdorf]

Hi,

just making my first steps with nix on ubuntu 10.4.1 (64bit).

Lua is built without popen support.

% which lua                                              
/home/cfl/.nix-profile/bin/lua
15:54:22 eve:~/
% lua                                                    
Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> io.popen('ls')
stdin:1: 'popen' not supported
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'popen'
	stdin:1: in main chunk
	[C]: ?

Is this a problem of nix on ubuntu, or a problem of how lua ist built
with nix?

popen support is needed by the awesome window manager for tab completion
and awesome's obivious widget library.
