require "resty.nettle.library" get a boolean value

[xiangnanscu]

For some reasons, var lib = require "resty.nettle.library" will get a boolean.

This problem occurs on one server(Ubuntu server 14.04), the other one is OK, sadly. I've already totally re-install openresty and resty.nettle (both latest), but it's still there.

the demo is the same as #13 .

I've found that the error should be unable to load nettle. So should I install something in C land?

[xiangnanscu]

after exec apt-get install nettle-dev, problem solved. But I'm not sure whether this solution is OK.

I made small changes to library loading function, so it now should report a bit more meaningful errors.

[bungle]

The fix is in release 0.103.

[bungle]

And yes, it was because you were missing the libraries on your operating system (this code binds system libs libnettle and libhogweed with LuaJIT FFI and provides a bit luafied interface).

I still face this issue on 0.105 version on my wiindows machine
[error] 11784#21104: *3 lua entry thread aborted: runtime error: ./lualib/resty\nettle\aes.lua:80: attempt to index local 'lib' (a boolean value)
if you could take a look at this issue again pls?

I am still facing this issue with v105 ( master) . I tried on windows and amazon linux machines.

I am also getting this error with version 0.105-1. I'm running macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6.

lua-resty-nettle
    0.105-1 (installed) - /usr/local/opt/kong/lib/luarocks/rocks

When I try to run:

/usr/local/opt/kong/share/lua/5.1/resty/nettle/sha1.lua:22: attempt to index upvalue 'lib' (a boolean value)

[chris-jansson]

Turns out I needed to install nettle as well. A quick brew install nettle did the trick.

Posting this here to help out any future macOS users

yum install nettle-devel solve,
