Thomas -
the shortcomings you are presenting, both what comes to LFS makefiles, the lack of a decent debugger, and the lack of a CPAN-kind module dispatch system, are acknowledged. At least I do share those needs, and there is light at the horizon. Actually, all these needs really tie together and should be answered at once. Hopefully, in 2007.
Unfortunately, earlier efforts s.a. LuaCheia are currently R.I.P. and due to the Lua 5.1 built-in module handling system (sans CPAN-like dispatch) those efforts are probably never revitalised. They need not, either. Look for LuaRocks on the net, and mail list archives to get up-par on the plans (if only the plans...).

  Why? I've installed these Ubuntu Packages:

  liblua5.1-0-dev  5.1-1
If you look at the file list for this package, you'll see that the lua headers are in /usr/include/lua5.1/, and looking at your compiler line, 
that directory is not in your include path.

Now the build is complaining:
  src/lfs.c:42:24: error: compat-5.1.h: No such file or directory


You don't need to be compatible with lua 5.1, you are using 5.1.
How many packages will I have to treat manually before I can build the 
remote debugger? Will it be worth? Or is there a simpler solution to
get a CLI debugger?

Seems that I'v expected some authomatic OS-independent package
mechanism like Chicken Eggs or Ruby Gems,
but there isn' yet for LUA, am I right?


Lua is a language for embedding and extending applications written in
C/C++, its got minimal stand-alone support. You should copy the C source 
into your application, and use whatever build system you are using for
your app.
