Description:
Tried to build mysql-proxy 0.8.1 from source. I have lua 5.1.4 installed however when I run the configure script as...
$./configure --with-lua
.
.
checking for LUA... no
 ... checked for Lua via pkg-config: No package 'lua' found. retrying with lua5.1
checking for GLIB... yes
.
.

it said that retrying with lua5.1 but it didnt.

when I run the script as..
$./configure --with-lua=lua5.1

it configured and built fine.

How to repeat:
1. download version 0.8.1
2. run the configure script as configure --with-lua
3. make
4. get error...
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -MT libmysql_chassis_la-lua-scope.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libmysql_chassis_la-lua-scope.Tpo -c lua-scope.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libmysql_chassis_la-lua-scope.o
lua-scope.c:44: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token

5. run configure again as ./configure --with-lua=lua5.1
6 make
 success.

Thank you for the report.

Can pkg-config see lua? I.e. what `pkg-config --list-all | grep lua` outputs?

$ pkg-config --list-all | grep lua
lua5.1                           Lua - Lua language engine

Thank you for the feedback.

What `pkg-config --exists --print-errors "lua5.1 >= 5.1"; echo $?` outputs?

Same issue on Ubuntu Lucid. Following packages are installed before compilation attempt: liblua5.1-dev pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libevent-dev check

$ pkg-config --exists --print-errors "lua5.1 >= 5.1"; echo $?

Thank you for the bug report. Verified on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. Workaround had not worked in my case for some reason.
