does lua work in linux ?

I was just mucking around using lua on my windows machine then I decided to carry on using the linux box when when I compile it fails with a dialog saying

"cannot find interface for module axe.lua"

this is the code Im trying to compile.

SuperStrict

Import axe.lua

Global finished:Int

finished = False

Local LuaState:Byte Ptr = luaL_newstate()
luaL_openlibs(LuaState)

Local Script:String

RunScript(LuaState,"print('8'+8)")
RunScript(LuaState,"print('Hello World!','**')")
RunScript(LuaState,"print('Hello World End!')")

RunScript(LuaState,"print('Done')")

Print "----------OutPut----------"
Print GetPrintOut(LuaState)
Print "--------------------------"

lua_close(LuaState)

Print "finished"
End

Function RedirectPrint(LuaState:Byte Ptr)
	' Initialise the PrintOut Global variable
	lua_pushstring(LuaState, "")
	lua_setglobal (LuaState, "PrintOut") 

	' Replace the print function with our one which will
	' add the output to the Global variable
	RunScript(LuaState, ..
		"function print(...)~r~n" ..
		+" if arg.n > 0 then~r~n" ..
		+"   for indx = 1, arg.n do~r~n" ..
		+"     if PrintOut == '' then~r~n" ..
		+"       PrintOut = arg[indx]~r~n" ..
		+"     else~r~n" ..
		+"       if indx == 1 then~r~n" ..
		+"         PrintOut = string.format('%s\r\n%s',PrintOut,arg[indx])~r~n" ..
		+"       else~r~n" ..
		+"         PrintOut = string.format('%s %s',PrintOut,arg[indx])~r~n" ..
		+"       end~r~n" ..
		+"     end~r~n" ..
		+"   end~r~n" ..
		+" end~r~n"..
		+"end")	
End Function

Function RunScript:Int(LuaState:Byte Ptr,script:String)
	Local res:Int
	res = luaL_loadString(LuaState,script)
'	Print "loading"
'	Print Script
'	Print "-------------"
'	Print "load returned : " + res
	If res <> 0 Then
		Print "ERROR : " + luaL_CheckString(LuaState,-1)
	Else
		res = lua_pcall(LuaState,0,LUA_MULTRET,0)
		If res <> 0 Then
			Print "ERROR : " + luaL_CheckString(LuaState,-1)
		End If
	End If
End Function

Function GetPrintOut:String(LuaState:Byte Ptr)
	Local retStr:String
	' get the Global variable containing all the print output
	' since the last time it was retrieved.
	lua_getGlobal(LuaState,"PrintOut")
	retStr = lua_toString(LuaState,-1)
	' Clear out the Global variable
	lua_pushstring(LuaState, "")
	lua_setglobal (LuaState, "PrintOut")
	
	Return retStr 
End Function

any ideas ?
