Thanks.  I see:
[compuser at pbx01 asterisk-1.6.1.0]$ grep -i lua config.log
configure:42697: checking for luaL_newstate in -llua5.1
configure:42732: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -llua5.1    >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llua5.1
| char luaL_newstate ();
| return luaL_newstate ();
ac_cv_lib_lua5_1_luaL_newstate=no
LUA_DIR=''
LUA_INCLUDE=''
LUA_LIB=''
PBX_LUA='0'

When I check the installed version I see:
[compuser at pbx01 asterisk-1.6.1.0]$ rpm -q lua
lua-5.0.2-1.el5.rf

I assume this is telling me CentOS installed 5.0.2 and Asterisk is
looking for 5.1 - John
