build.sh error - Lua version >= 5.3 not found , despite it being present in /usr/local/bin.

Hi folks,

I am trying to build qemu-0.15.x for serialICE by running build.sh script.
However, it fails stating Lua 5.3 wasn't found as below :

"Error Lua version >= 5.3 not found. Can't build QEMU with SerialICE
support."

I am on Ubuntu 14.04. I downloaded lua5.3, built and installed it manually.
I did not use apt-get for it, because the max it allowed was lua5.2 . As a
result, qemu-0.15.x/configure cannot find the lua packages despite it being
installed in /usr/local/bin.

After reading previous posts, I added "--extra-ldflags="-lm" " to build.sh
script. That also did not help.

Can someone please suggest a way to get it working - like changing  some
path names / modifying the configure script ? I've a feeling build.sh isn't
able to identify lua, despite it being in the right path.

Thanks,
- Arpita
