    [SOLVED] Installing Conky with lua error

    I've been trying to install Conky and I keep running into issues. Many sites say to just run sudo apt-get install conky from the terminal, but it doesn't work and the program isn't listed in KPackageKit. So I went to install it from the tarball and it said I didn't have pkg-config installed. So I installed pkg-config and it said I didn't have X11 installed. So I installed X11 and it said I didn't have lua5.1 installed. Now I installed lua5.1 and I'm still getting the same message:

    Code:
    checking for X11... yes
    checking for LUA... no
    checking for LUA51... no
    checking for LUA51... configure: error: Package requirements (lua5.1 >= 5.1) were not met:
    
    No package 'lua5.1' found
    
    Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
    installed software in a non-standard prefix.
    
    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LUA51_CFLAGS
    and LUA51_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.
    I'm not sure what to do next, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it a lot.

    Re: Installing Conky with lua error

    conky is found when I search for it in KPackageKit. The results are:

    conky-all
    conky-std
    conky-cli
    conky

    You want to install conky.

    In KPackageKit > Edit Software Sources > Kubuntu Software ensure that you have all the entries checked (you don't need to check the last one - Source code).
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.

      Ok, thanks. I must have spelled it wrong when I first searched KPackageKit.
