這是因為lua編譯依賴readline庫，readline庫依賴ncurses庫，但沒有指定，就會出現“未定義的符合引用”錯誤。
解決方案是修改${LUA_DIR}/src/Makefile中linux編譯target=linux，在SYSLIBS變量中追加‘-lncurses’選項即可。如下：
105 linux:
106 $(MAKE) $(ALL) SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_LINUX" SYSLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline -lncurses"
此時重新執行：
[root@~/software/lua-5.2.3]# make linux install
cd src && make linux
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/software/lua-5.2.3/src'
make all SYSCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_LINUX" SYSLIBS="-Wl,-E -ldl -lreadline -lncurses"
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/software/lua-5.2.3/src'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/software/lua-5.2.3/src'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/software/lua-5.2.3/src'
cd src && mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib /usr/local/man/man1 /usr/local/share/lua/5.2 /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2
cd src && install -p -m 0755 lua luac /usr/local/bin

cd src && install -p -m 0644 liblua.a /usr/local/lib
cd doc && install -p -m 0644 lua.1 luac.1 /usr/local/man/man1至此，lua-5.2.3安裝成功：
