I try to use library redis-lua, which I've downloaded here:
https://github.com/nrk/redis-lua
It fails this way:
Lua 5.3.2 Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

redis-lua documentation proposes to use http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/
this leads me to the following page: http://files.luaforge.net/releases/luasocket/luasocket/luasocket-2.0.2/luasocket-2.0.2.tar.gz
Building these sources gives me following error:
debian@debian:~/luasocket-2.0.2$ make install
cd src; make all

Please propose how to add socket support to lua 5.3.
