Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash after installing LuaRocks and running a fresh Path of Building Community installation. Inspect the startup code that initializes the Lua path and determine how the environment LUA_PATH is incorporated. Done means the application starts successfully with only its own Lua directory in the path and without the reported error.
