Public bug reported:

Practical report from a user:

: I've managed to compile it from source, but only after commenting out quite a bit of zipping functionality, and patching the system itself to accept some Lua stuff...
: I forgot myself, since I had to try so many things. The current location of my Lua library is in /lib64/liblua.so.5.1
: There was no liblua.so, had to create a symlink myself.
: The system also has multiple versions of Lua installed... your code just happily accepted the headers from Lua 5.2, and started compiling with those.

There's a good tool to solve this problem with: pkg-config. Debian
already patches our project to make use of pkg-config, and I've
successfully made use of it for Mudlet on OSX. We should transition our
main project file to use pkg-config to solve this.
