This issue may be caused by the fact that Debian calls the lua package
installed on the system "lua5.1" (or similar), but gnuplot's
configuration scripts expect "lua" instead.
We've tried to fix this in the past, but apparently it's still not
good.

Possible workarounds:

- read the "Linux" section of the INSTALL file and create the symlink
described there

- if you don't want to / can't create the symlink, tell configure
explicitly where should it look for lua headers:
./configure LUA_LIBS=-llua5.1 LUA_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lua5.1
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lua5.1

- if you don't need the lua/tikz terminal, build gnuplot without it: ./
configure --without-lua
