[GEM-dev] pdlua + luagl + Gem (was: automated drawing in gem?)

[Wesley Smith]

Fink is not the most ideal way to install lua on OSX.  It's best to
just to it by hand and make / make install.  Be sure to enable the
dynamic loader as I mentioned earlier with the -D switch otherwise you
won't be able to load the luagl module.
