Linux Compiling Debian Squeeze 6 -> configure: error: "Lua header not found."

[kito2]

Hey dude, as topic name says I have the following error:

configure: error: "Lua header not found."

I have search a lot of on google and forums, but there are no solutions for this problem, any one have an idea?

Worked great on Ubuntu last time I used it, Don't know if it will work on Debian though

to get rid of this error, do this:
wget [url]http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.4.tar.gz[/url]
tar -xzvf lua*
cd lua*
make linux && make install
then do ./configure again
