Building of lzomodule.o fails because of missing lzo1x.h

Hi this is about an issue with the build process:
Trying to install from a fresh clone on Ubuntu 14.04 (x64) with either setup.py or make fails with error:

> /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'tests_require'

I tried moving all include files from source code here: http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ to /usr/include/lzo.

It now finds the required include files but fails on compilation:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llzo2
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

Is there a missing assumed dependency?

It would probably be easier to just apt-get install zlib1g-dev.

I guess a little more documentation on installation is needed.

Also the include should be #include <lzo/lzo1x.h> and not just <lzo1x.h>
