How do I get Lua Lanes to work with my game server?

I've been racking my brain at this all day and I just cannot figure it out. My server uses a single state that loads all of my scripts in as global variables (for calling any time without having to luaL_dofile each time I want to run a script). The problem comes in when I attempt to use lanes. require "lanes" works as it should (I think? It returns a table to package.loaded appropriately...) since I have the lanes.lua in the appropriate directory on Linux (Ubuntu 11.10 x86). However, when I go to do lanes.gen("", functionName) it tells me... attempt to index global 'lanes': a nil value. At this point I decided to try package.loaded["lanes"].gen("", functionName) and it tells me... attempt to index field 'gen': a nil value If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you in advance for at least trying to help.

If you are using the latest LuaLanes (which is what you get by luarocks install lanes), the supported way of loading the module is this:

local lanes = require "lanes".configure()

configure() will create all the necessary functions, before calling configure() the module table is empty, which seems like your issue.
