-SimGrid requires Lua 5.3; it will not work with Lua 5.2 or Lua 5.1,
-as Lua 5.3 breaks backwards compatibility. 
-Version 5.3.2, 5.3.3 or any 5.3.X are ok, though.
-
-However, installing Lua 5.3 is easy. (If you are an administrator of your machine)
-
-Step 1: Go to http://www.lua.org/download.html and download the 5.3 package.
-
-Step 2: Untar the package: tar xvfz lua-5.3.*.tar.gz
-
-Step 3: cd into the new directory
-
-Step 4: Apply the patch in "<simgrid-source-dir>/tool/lualib.patch" to the
-        lua source:
-
-        For instance, if you unpacked the lua sourcecode to /tmp/lua-5.3.1, use
-        the following commands:
-
-        cp tools/lualib.patch /tmp/lua-5.3.1
-        cd /tmp/lua-5.3.1/
-        patch -p1 < lualib.patch
-
-Step 5: make linux
-
-Step 6: sudo make install
-
-Step 7: Go back to the SimGrid source, and run ccmake again. Try removing CMakeCache.txt if it still complains about Lua being not found.
