Known problem.  
We have added instructions in the INSTALL file for 4.4.0 to cover this case.

The problem is that Ubuntu does not install a lua package configuration file
with a generic name.

  204 Ubuntu:
  205 	./configure fails to find lua support because Ubuntu packages it as
  206 	"lua5.1" rather than "lua".  You can fix this by adding a symlink
  207 	prior to running ./configure
  208 	    ln -s /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lua5.1.pc  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lua.pc
  209
