the tekUI mailing list may be a more appropriate place for this:
http://lists.neoscientists.org/mailman/listinfo/tekui-devel .
I cross-posted the reply there, please consider joining.

Possible reasons:

- When building Lua 5.3, LUA_COMPAT_MODULE was missing. See CFLAGS
in lua/src/Makefile

- You did not adjust the LUAVER variable in tekUI's config file (or
specified it in the command line when installing). In so far the
documentation is misleading, not everything compiles and runs "out of
the box", you still have to adjust the Lua version for versions >5.1:

$ sudo make LUAVER=5.3 install

Also, you might want to make sure that PREFIX, LUA_LIB and LUA_SHARE in
the config file are adjusted correctly to reflect Lua's installation
paths in your system (should be the case if Lua was built by hand, and
I assume/hope that Lua 5.3 did not make it into Ubuntu packages yet).

- The warnings look harmless and unrelated to me, just annoying. Which
compiler version were you using? For getting rid of the warnings you
may try 

$ make CFLAGS=-Wno-unused-value all

I would be interested if the above helped you with the issue. I do not
have Ubuntu Linux handy, and especially not a brand new version.
