Hi,

When LR doesn't find an external dependency, it issues:

Error: Could not find expected file libmapm.a for MAPM -- you may have
to install MAPM in your system and/or set the MAPM_DIR variable

But what it means is I need to set MAPM_LIBDIR and MAPM_INCDIR variables.

The above example for $luarocks install lmapm, but it's the same for
all dependencies that don't follow the convention that
DEP_LIBDIR=DEP_DIR/lib and DEP_INCDIR=DEP_DIR/include.

Anyway, I think the message should be more clear -- I always forget
about this implication. The least it can do is give the full path of
the file it wants so I can figure it out myself why it looks into the
wrong path.
