May I know to solve the problem of main.lua:13:’=’ expected near ‘local’? thanks.

#2

What is line 13 of main.lua?

#3

Please show us your code…

However, I’m guessing that on or before line 13 you did this (pseudo code):

local abc = display.newImage() -- or newImageRect()

You created some new display object and assigned it to a local.  However, you didn’t have the right name or path for the texture, so the object didn’t get created and then local assign failed.

OR you did this

local require "bob"

I do that all the time.  I’m so used to assigning the return from require to a local that I goof up for those that don’t and still type local first.

Some day, I’m going to go through and write a list of likely causes for common error messages, but not today.

Nonetheless, if you want help, please post your code.
