That's not the one that lout is complaining about.  There's also a
file LOUTLIB/inlcude/tbl - a setup file for the table package.  It's
this file that Lout can't find.  That's why I'm asking have you
actually done

    $ make install

Run lout -V and look for system include and database directories.
Then check if these directories actually exist.

The last command is the invocation of lout that should do the trick.
The -o flag tells where output goes, I just prefer it over explicit
redirection.
