Using the latest Git. The directory is at ~/.luarocks/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.3/loverocks/scm-0/templates/.

I'm assuming by the path it's installed to you are using a build of luarocks that uses Lua 5.3? Unfortunately that kind of setup can't be supported: luarocks has the implicit assumption built into it that you will use the same interpreter for luarocks that you are using for your actual code, which in LOVE's case is Lua 5.1.

if you're using an OS with a package manager, many distributions will provide suffixed version of luarocks for different versions of lua. For example, on Arch Linux, the package community/luarocks5.1 will install luarocks-5.1, which should work fine.

It was installed with luarocks-5.1. It refuses to install with -5.3.

Alloyed commented

That's weird. Can you try uninstalling loverocks and reinstalling it with --verbose, and post the result?

Sorry about the delay.
