I'm working on a LuaLaTeX-Document project using my laptop and a desktop PC. The document contains a LuaLaTeX script to enable C-Style comments (link). However, while compilation works fine on my laptop, on the desktop PC the error

! LuaTeX error ./cStyleComments.lua:30: attempt to index global 'luatexbase' (a 
nil value)
stack traceback:
    ./cStyleComments.lua:30: in main chunk
    [C]: in function 'require'
    [\directlua]:1: in main chunk.
l.24 \directlua{require("cStyleComments.lua")}

occurs.

cStyleComments.lua contains the definition of comments method and line 30, which reads:

luatexbase.add_to_callback('process_input_buffer', comment, 'comment')

LuaLaTeX version on laptop: beta-0.80.0
LuaLaTeX version on PC: beta-0.79.1 (I have no sudo, so I cannot upgrade).

The solution was to use the luatexbase package:

\usepackage{luatexbase}

However I don't know why it works without on the laptop system.
