That's not what you should do: lua5.1 is only the lua interpreter,
nothing more, and cannot act as LuaTeX (the TeX engine with embedded Lua
scripting). Nor can it act as TeXLua, the LuaTeX-aware Lua interpreter.
Of course both lua5.1 and texlua are Lua interpreters and this is why
luatools superficially works; but the latter has more libraries than lua
alone, one of them called 'lua': luatools cannot work without those.
What you should do is take the Mac binary for *LuaTeX* and copy it
under the different names (texlua and texluac); symlinks are fine, too.
Recent binaries are available at http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10
as both Intel Mac and universal binaries (no PPC-alone binary, sorry).
That way, you actually don't need Lua itself (everything you need is
built-in into LuaTeX).
One you've done that, you can start over again. Feel free to ask
questions if you have other problems.
Arthur
