mod_magnet.so not found

When I restart Lighttpd with this line in Lighttpd.conf:

server.modules += ("mod_magnet")

I get the error:

Stopping web server: lighttpd.
Starting web server: lighttpd2010-12-05 21:11:14: (plugin.c.169) dlopen() failed

I searched for the file mod_magnet.so with the command:

find / -name mod_magnet.so

and this did not get any hits. Is Lua support a separate installation?
My OS is Debian Lenny. My version of Lighttpd is 1.4.28.

This problem is solved. I found that mod_magnet has to be compiled into lighttpd from source code. So I went back the where I got the backport of lighttpd 1.4.28 at the website of a person generous enough to share them and found the right binary. The apt sources list entry for his site is:

deb http://www.jonmoniaci.com/debian-ppa/ lenny main contrib non-free

I stopped lighttpd, and executed the command:

aptitude install lighttpd-mod-magnet

after which lighttpd started up with mod_magnet in the configuration file without error.
