I just commited a patch to svn, which should resolve that issue (and
excludes lua-interpreter and lua-compiler from compilation)
Furthermore the patch should make the nselib C-modules run on most *nix
platforms (It relies on the systems to be posix-compliant and to offer 
dynamic module loading via dlopen() ). 
However due to lack of access to such machines I couldn't test it 
(apart from debian stable and freebsd 6.1). 
So any testing on other linux-distros and other *nix-system would be
really appreciated.

found a fix and commited it to svn - configure now checks wheter it can
find lua.h in the system's header-files, and takes lua.h from the
nmap-distribution, if this check fails.
