I am trying to install fblualib and facing this issue that I have not been able to find a work around it.
I issued following commands:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/fblualib.git
cd fblualib/fblualib/python
luarocks make rockspec/*
and having the following output: Any help is greatly appreciated as I am really stuck in this error.
cmake -E make_directory build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DROCKS_PREFIX=/home/ubuntu/usr/local/torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks/fbpython/0.1-1 \

So basically I found the issue, it was all fixed by adding --enable-shared during python compilation. So I recompiled the python again and it worked. Hope it helps others and prevents them from spending the same time.
