Hi,
checking for LUA... configure: error: Package requirements (lua5.1 >= 5.1.2) were not met:

You also need to install the development files. On Debian, the package is called 'liblua5.1-0-dev', I guess it's named similar on Ubuntu. After installing this package, configure should work but you probably run into compilation errors because the downloaded tarball is only for Geany 0.14 and so won't work with Geany 0.15.
To work around this, you can download the SVN version of the code which could/should work with Geany 0.15 (not sure right now). To do so, run (you need the subversion package for this): svn checkout -r177 https://geany-plugins.svn.sf.net/svnroot/geany-plugins/trunk/geanylua
Then run ./configure && make && make install again.
Sorry for all the inconvience. We'll try to make this easier in the future.

First off, thanks for the excellent program.
There are a few problems with building geanylua right now. One is that I had to add '#define GETTEXT_PACKAGE "geany"' to /usr/include/geany/support.h. And as pointed out, it's installing in the legacy ~/.geany on Linux.
There's something else I'd like to request about geanylua. Trying to write a package for it is turning out to be a mess. I'm writing a PKGBUILD for the Arch Linux User Repository, and geanylua doesn't install like other programs. Basically it's breaking out of fakeroot and trying to install directly into the file system. If possible, could someone look into having this code compile like other programs so it can be generically packaged? All other plug-ins in current subversion build fine.
By the way, is this a good place to file bug reports and enhancement requests?

This is wrong and possibly breaks other plugins. Additionally, this shouldn't be necessary since SVN r3440. Please try to use the latest SVN version.

Yup. It just needs to be fixed but currently the Lua plugin doesn't have a maintainer and so nobody really is responsible to change it. See http://lists.uvena.de/pipermail/geany/2009-January/003915.html.

See above, without a maintainer such changes are unlikely.

Yes, for bug reports the bugtracker is even better: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=153444&atid=787791 but it doesn't matter that much.
