2 as Lua 5.3 breaks backwards compatibility.
3 Version 5.3.2, 5.3.3 or any 5.3.X are ok, though.

7 Step 1: Go to http://www.lua.org/download.html and download the 5.3 package.
9 Step 2: Untar the package: tar xvfz lua-5.3.*.tar.gz
11 Step 3: cd into the new directory
13 Step 4: Apply the patch in "<simgrid-source-dir>/tool/lualib.patch" to the
16 For instance, if you unpacked the lua sourcecode to /tmp/lua-5.3.1, use
17 the following commands:
19 cp tools/lualib.patch /tmp/lua-5.3.1
21 patch -p1 < lualib.patch
25 Step 6: sudo make install
27 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.
