   I don't why that is. Perhaps there is a spec issue.

   @hishamhm could you check it for me, I'm temporarily away from any machines I could run it on.

   Is file name has trail space?
   Rockspec in repo and in luarocks.org has no this space.
   May be you use some luarocks mirror that contain wrong version of rockspec.
   Try
   luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcnamara/xlsxwriter.lua/master/xlsxwriter-0.0.6-1.rockspec

   I am having a very similar problem when installing via luarocks

   Error: Build error: Failed installing xlsxwriter/core.lua in .../luarocks/rocks/xlsxwriter/0.0.6-1/lua/xlsxwriter/core.lua
   

   Installed using @moteus solution works for me.

   Try
   luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmcnamara/xlsxwriter.lua/master/xlsxwriter-0.0.6-1.rockspec

   Just faced with same error. Problem is xlsxwriter-0.0.6-1.src.rock has no source. only rockspec.
   So pleas reupload source rock on server.

   @moteus You are right. The src spec doesn't have any source. That is odd since I built it in the same way as the previous rocks which did have the source.

   I'll try fix it and upload a new version.
