Re: Nmap Script Engine on OpenWrt

Bruno,

Thanks for following up. It appears that you might have a version of Lua
installed that is incompatible with Nmap. You can force Nmap to build and
statically link the Lua 5.3.3 source that's included with Nmap by passing
--with-liblua=included to configure. Let us know if this fixes the issue
for you.
