I have MW 1.28 and Lua 5.1 on Arch Linux. I'm trying to build LuaSandbox so I can get Scribunto to work.

I need Scribunto to run the Template:Navbox that Wikipedia uses; that's my goal.

Trying to build with: $ sudo phpize && sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install

but ./configure fails with this message:

checking for lua >= 5.1 lua < 5.2... no

checking for lua5.1... no

checking for lua-5.1... no

checking for luajit... no

configure: error: Package requirements (luajit) were not met:

No package 'luajit' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA_CFLAGS

and LUA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have the required Lua libs:

$ ls /usr/include/lua5.1
lauxlib.h  lua.h  lua.hpp  luaconf.h  lualib.h

And I've tried export LUA_LIBS='-L/usr/include/lua5.1' and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/include/lua5.1' but no change.

How do I get LuaSandbox to build?
