Hi,

This problem has changed but is still festering. Currently a note in INSTALL for Ubuntu suggests the symlink fix, but meanwhile the lua people have come out with 5.2, and they have evidently refused to provide a .pc file for it. See for example http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2012-02/msg00748.html. Some organizations, such as Debian, have made their own, but Canonical has not. 

Insofar as I can tell this means that I can't compile gnuplot on my Ubuntu12.04 (I'm no hot shot).
