This issue relates to the installation of lsyncd on Ubuntu.
I would like to have a better documentation of the required dependencies

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and unpack sources on Ubuntu ( 10.10/11.04 ) installation where Lua has not been installed previously
2. cd to source-dir and run ./configure
3. Script will complain about not being able to find package Lua >= 5.1.3
4. Search for package Lua using apt-cache and fail to find the correct package.

Basically I am only requesting that the proper package to install is documented in a README file in the distributed source

What is the expected behavior? What does Lsyncd do instead?

I expect to install lua using
sudo apt-get install lua
since it complains that it is missing 'lua'
As far as I know, I actually need to install 'liblua5.1-0-dev', but I am not sure since I installed alot of other lua-packages.

What version of Lsyncd are you using? On what operating system (host and
target(s)?
Lsyncd 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 11.04 (Had the samme issue on Ubuntu 10.10)

If applicable please copy/paste your Lsyncd configuration file.
