I was anxious to test Tir on my Mac and had to hack some lua rocks to get them to install and let me get going.
I must admit it’s a horrible hack but it works. Maybe someone (meaning not me ;) should ask the luaposix and luuid authors to get them working on Mac.
I first stumbled on an install problem with luaposix.
sudo luarocks install luaposix

I pointed luarocks to the previous rockspec of luaposix and the installation worked:
sudo luarocks install http://luarocks.org/repositories/rocks/luaposix-5.1.2-1.rockspec
luarocks list
Installed rocks:

luaposix
5.1.2-1 (installed) - /usr/local/lib/luarocks/rocks
Is something else missing?
sudo luarocks install http://tir.mongrel2.org/downloads/tir-0.7-1.rockspec
Missing dependencies for tir:
luuid
The regular install did not work:
sudo luarocks install luuid

extracting: luuid.tar.gz
Error: Could not find expected file libuuid.dylib for LIBUUID — you may have to install LIBUUID in your system and/or set the LIBUUID_DIR variable
Mmm… luuid expects libuuid.dylib to be installed through e2fsprogs. I do have e2fsprogs installed with MacPorts.
port list | grep e2fsprogs
e2fsprogs @1.41.10 sysutils/e2fsprogs
libuuid.dylib is also there:
ls /opt/local/lib/libuuid.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libuuid.dylib
I tried setting the LIBUUID_DIR to /opt/local/lib (also tried /opt/local) but luuid kept complaining about the missing dylib.
As a last resort I downloaded e2fsprogs from:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12.tar.gz
and luuid from:
http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/5.1/luuid.tar.gz
untared both and compiled luuid directly against e2fsprogs’ uuid source:
cd e2fsprogs-1.41.12
./configure
cd lib/uuid
make
./tst_uuid
cp luuid.c . (copy luuid.c from luuid.tar.gz)

uuid library for Lua 5.1 / Mar 2010
Because I was not able to rebundle the luuid rock, I took the manual road and just copied uuid.so to /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/
The following works now:
lua
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> require ‘uuid’
> u=uuid.new()
> print(u,”default”,uuid.time(u))
03801c06-d0a3-4a8e-aec1-bf6c7bbbbc01 default -566323678
You can either remove luuid from tir’s rockspec dependencies or create a luuid/ directory with a 20100303-1/ directory inside it containing the luuid-20100303-1.rockspec and a rock_manifest file with the following content (generate your own md5 signature for uuid.so):
rock_manifest = {
lib={
[‘uuid.so’]=’aa17da86ed0e5664b65da672ad9a1684’
},
[‘luuid-20100303-1.rockspec’]=’fdd4e2f6845cdde78b5773d84280bb3c’
}
then copy it to /usr/local/lib/luarocks/rocks/ and force luarocks-admin to rebuild its manifest with:
sudo luarocks-admin make_manifest
Good luck!
