[pdal] problem with PDAL install from github, PDAL: LASzip is not enabled. Can't read LAZ data

marcos at kubuntu14-10:~/ pdal --version

pdal (PDAL 1.0.0.b1 (f52b08) with GeoTIFF 1.4.0 GDAL 1.10.1)

marcos at kubuntu14-10:$ pdal info splits/L01_classed_1.laz
PDAL: LASzip is not enabled.  Can't read LAZ data.

But I know the file is correct and lazlib is in the path because lasinfo
works:

marcos at kubuntu14-10:~/ lasinfo splits/L01_classed_1.laz
lasinfo for splits/L01_classed_1.laz

What could I possibly be missing? thanks a lot for your time... regards,
