>Description:
After upgrading lua from 5.0.2_1 to 5.1, Kate and Kwrite crash.

When starting Kate, it simply exits with a segmentation fault,
Kwrite complains that "A test editor component could not be found", and then generates a segmentation fault.

This happens because the 5.1 release of lua does not include the liblua.so and liblualib.so files (which could be found in /usr/local/lib/ in previous releases).

Kwrite and Kate (and possibly other KDE applications) expect these shared objects in /usr/local/lib/.

My ports stree is up-to-date (here is output from my latest portsnap fetch command: Updating from Thu May  4 07:09:06 CEST 2006 to Fri May  5 06:50:23 CEST 2006.)

No mention of this problem can be found in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
>How-To-Repeat:
Make sure to have KDE 3.5.2 installed (including Kate/Kwrite).
Upgrade lua-5.0.2_1 to lua-5.1.
Try to start Kwrite or KDE.
>Fix:
Downgrade lua to lua-5.0.2_1
