You won't see a liblua.a file, because Free Pascal does not use .a files 
for such purposes. Free Pascal generates .o and .ppu files which can 
then again be used when compiling a program. Also the lua package should 
already be compiled if you installed the deb. Take a look at 
/usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/lua (or something similar). 
Nevertheless you should be able to just add the "lua" unit to the uses 
clause and it should work. You need the lua library installed of course.

Could you try to compile the example using "-st" and then run the 
generated ppas.sh script and report it's output here? I hope to get more 
error information from the linker this way...
