For +instance, if the luatex program is in + +/usr/texbin + +then you would put SimpleDemoC.so into + +/usr/texbin/lib/luatex/lua/pgf/gd/examples/c + + +Due to bugs in the LuaTeX code, you currently need to append the paths +of the libraries to their name as done in the Makefiles. + +Note that, currently, the Makefile will link the Lua library +statically into the shared graph drawing library (at least on +MacOS). This is conceptually wrong and, indeed, a lot of effort was +need to avoid having LuaTeX crash on a TeX run because of two Lua +libraries being used simultaneously. It works, but hopefully, in the +fututure, this will be fixed.
