Compiling osmium on Ubuntu

Following https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmium/Quick_Start on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with libprotobuf-dev installed gives lots of "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lprotobuf-lite" errors.

OSM-binary can be compiled using the non-Debian/Ubuntu instructions (e.g. make instead of debuild), but make osmium/examples still fails looking for -lprotobuf-lite

Changing LDFLAGS on line 26 of Makefile to /usr/lib doesn't seem to help

user@ireem:~$ ls  /usr/lib/libprotobuf*
/usr/lib/libprotobuf-c.a         /usr/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so.5
