My situation is that I have
  box8 (debian) ~> /usr/bin/lua -v
  Lua 5.1.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
  box8 (debian) ~> /usr/local/bin/lua -v
  Lua 5.2.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
and I'd like to install zee, which requires 5.2

  luarocks install zee
fails with
  Missing dependencies for zee:
  lua == 5.2
  Error: Could not find a rock to satisfy dependency: lua == 5.2
even though /usr/local/bin is ahead of /usr/bin in my $PATH

This feels like a dumb RTFM question, yet I can't see it in
  man luarocks
Is there some way to specify
  luarocks -l /usr/local/bin/lua install zee
or
  LUA=/usr/local/bin/lua ; luarocks install zee
or something like that ?

It's not that 5.2 is considered to not match 5.2.1, is it ?
