You wrote: "I added a --enable-lua to the spec and compiled it"

Wait...  Let's refine that statement a bit...

You say you added it "to the spec", you mean the lxc.spec.in file?  Then
ran autogen.sh and ran configure to generate the appropriate lxc.spec
file?  When you compiled it, was it by running "make rpm" or just make?
Or did you do like I use to do, tar the whole thing up and run rpmbuild
on the resulting tarball?  The spec file only applies to building rpms
and using the tarball method misses a couple of options.

If you're using the lxc.spec file you should not be adding (do not have
to add) the --enable-lua option (it's auto detected in any case).
Running "make rpm" will pick up on both perl and lua but be sure you
have the corresponding development packages in place first.
