Lua looking for version 5.2 when 5.1 is installed

I am getting an error module 'lsqlite3' not found even tough I have installed using luarocks install --local lsqlite3.

lsqlite3 has been installed for 5.1 instead of 5.2. as I can see by this file: ~/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/lsqlite3.so

How can I make luarocks to install the correct version.

error trace:

*** lua: save_chat_history.lua:53: module 'lsqlite3' not found:
    no field package.preload['lsqlite3']
    no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/lsqlite3/init.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/lsqlite3/init.lua'
    no file '/usr/share/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.lua'
    no file '/usr/share/lua/5.2/lsqlite3/init.lua'
    no file './lsqlite3.lua'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.so'
    no file '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.so'
    no file '/usr/lib/lua/5.2/lsqlite3.so'
    no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so'
    no file './lsqlite3.so'

I am using luarocks installed from apt-get in kubuntu. Shuold I build it from source and use ./configure --lua-version=5.2 ?

Yes, the LuaRocks from the official repositories only supports Lua 5.1. If you want LuaRocks for a different or even multiple Lua versions, you'll have to install LuaRocks from source.

In addition to --lua-version=5.2 you might also need --lua-suffix=5.2 on Ubuntu. The other default values should work ok.
