Title:
  Vim not running plugins using Lua

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
   VIM plugins using Lua like neocomplete will not run and will give the
  annoying message of "needing vim greater than 7.3.885 with lua". vim
  --version tells that lua is enabled and thersion for Trusty is
  7.4.052. Furthermore this command with in vim ":lua print('hello')"
  would return the linking error: "vim e370 could not load library
  libluajit-5.1.so.2".

  As instructed in this 2013 message:. http://lua.2524044.n2.nabble.com
  /Problems-with-Lua-in-Vim-tp7654458p7654461.html . Can the '--enable-
  luainterp' configuration flag in the debian/rules file be change to
  '--enable-luainterp=dynamic'? LibluaJIT is an Just in Time compiler
  that is faster than the regular Lua Libraary. It requres the extra
  compiler flag of --with-luajit.

  To get the Lua interpreter working, here is what I am suggesting.
  Change the lines in the debian/ file

  OLD:
  ALLINTERPFLAGS+=--enable-luainterp
  New:
  ALLINTERPFLAGS+=--enable-luainterp=dynamic
  +ifneq ($(shell ldconfig -p | grep 'libluajit'),)
       ALLINTERPFLAGS+=--with-luajit
   endif

  Hope this is clear and useful.
