That's even with the latest brltty development code? I really do think that that should've corrected it. I tested it with your package.cpath string.

Just do the make, i.e. don't do the make install. Then use the run-brltty script in brltty's top-level directory. It takes the very same options as brltty itself but runs brltty out of the build tree. It's that simple.

>Probably your code requires 5.4.8.

That'd surprise me, actually.

If the latest brltty development code still doesn't work on Trixie then please share the make file from your Bindings/Lua directory.
