git clone emacs-reader to ~/.emacs.d/user-lisp/reader directory. Run make in there manually.

@divyaranjan: Maybe Makefile could be changed to ask mupdf itself about its version, and take that if it works? (Not all versions support the -v switch, but the more recent one I mentioned above does.)

Looks like it does, it's libmupdf-dev. But now I'm more confused, how did Reader compile if you didn't have a libmupdf.so...does it exist somewhere else?

@triska That is...weird...because usually you'd see a libmupdf.so in here if your package also installed the shared library. Does Debian have a different package for the shared library?
