Same issue 👍

luarocks --local install --server=http://luarocks.org/dev lua-lsp --check-lua-versions

lua-lsp not found for Lua 5.4.
Checking if available for other Lua versions...
Checking for Lua 5.1...
Checking for Lua 5.2...
Checking for Lua 5.3...

Error: No results matching query were found for Lua 5.4.
lua-lsp supports only Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2 and Lua 5.3 but not Lua 5.4.
zsh: exit 1     luarocks --local install --server=http://luarocks.org/dev lua-lspO

Please support 5.4 thanks

@tami5 I've split off lua 5.4 support as an independent issue if you'd like to subscribe to that instead: #35
no timeline but I'm def looking into it~

@kdurant This seems like an issue with your configuration of luarocks and not this package specifically: it is attempting to a compile a native C++ module we depend on (lpeglabel), but can't find the base lua header (which is kinda important!). It's likely that this would happen with any C++ module, which you can test by trying to install the most popular one; luarocks install cjson. I can't really provide support for your system config specifically but if you find the issue I'd love to know what's up.

I encountered this problem, too. And I solved it by installing liblua-dev:

$ sudo apt-get install lua5.2
$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.2-dev

Maybe you could have a try.
