I'm new to Lua, and I'm not used to compiling stuff on Windows.
Anyway the installaion of luasocket finished without errors, compiling all the stuff with MS Visual Studio 2010. Had to run luarocks from the Visual Studio Command Prompt, but it finally worked.
But when I try to require it, I drive into an error.
> require 'socket'
error loading module 'socket.core' from file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaRocks\systree/lib/lua/5.1/socket\core.dll':
C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaRocks\systree/lib/lua/5.1/socket\core.dll:1: '=' expected near 'É'
stack traceback:

Using require 'luarocks.loader' doesn't help either, same error. I think I don't need it anyway, because I have LUA_PATH set up with the luarocks paths
I searched for hours with no results. I also tried to install an older version of Luasockets but it requires Visual Studio 2003, so I would like to avoid that.
