First thing to check is where luarocks installed lua-stdlib's io.lua file, and
determine why that location is missing from the 'no file' list above.

Upgrading to Lua 5.2, and making sure luarocks is installing to a Lua 5.2 tree
is important too.

If it's not already clear what needs fixing at this point, then removing
lib/zmacs/commands.lua and recompiling with `make V=1` will show the full zlc
command that causes that error.

HTH,
