Fwd: Slight Issue installing mod_security

Hello everyone. I'm attempting to follow along with the instructions at :
http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/2.5.2/html-multipage/installation.html
to install mod_security. I am installing this on CentOS 4.6 server with Plesk for Linux 8.3 installed.

I have libxml2 already installed, and lua 5.1.3 installed via source code. Lua was installed by running
'make linux' then 'make install' in the directory created by extracting the "lua-5.1.3.tar.gz" archive file.

"make install" gave me this output:

cd src && mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib /usr/local/man/man1
/usr/local/share/lua/5.1 /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1
cd src && install -p -m 0755 lua luac /usr/local/bin
cd src && install -p -m 0644 lua.h luaconf.h lualib.h lauxlib.h ../etc/lua.hpp /usr/local/include
cd src && install -p -m 0644 liblua.a /usr/local/lib
cd doc && install -p -m 0644 lua.1 luac.1 /usr/local/man/man1

I then extracted and successfully installed mod_security, including 'make test'. Later in the
instructions, it says:

8. Edit the main Apache httpd config file (usually httpd.conf)

On UNIX (and Windows if you did not copy the DLLs as stated above) you must load libxml2 and lua5.1 before
ModSecurity with something like this:

LoadFile /usr/lib/libxml2.so
LoadFile /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so

However, the file "/usr/lib/liblua5.1.so" does not exist. I also could not find
"/usr/local/lib/liblua5.1.so", nor "/lib/liblua5.1.so". I then searched for anything matching
*lua* in /lib , /usr/lib , and /usr/local/lib , and only found /usr/local/lib/liblua.a . There is also a
directory /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1 , but it is empty.

Am I supposed to use "LoadFile /usr/local/lib/liblua.a" or is my install of lua screwed up or ... ?

Thanks.
