Subject: [gentoo-user] Awesome WM, io.popen() attempt to index io nil value

Hi folks,
is anyone of you using awesome wm?
I've been struggling with a little bit of a problem lately, wanted to
create a widget that retrieves gmail data using curl. The problem
encountered is the function io.popen() that returns nil [attempt to index
io nil value] (as having an error in lua) even though not doing anything
special, tested also with ls -l and other trivial bash commands...

Can somebody help me resolve the problem?
