The configure file shows lame version + support is determined via:

     enabled libmp3lame && require "libmp3lame >= 3.98.3" lame/lame.h lame_set_VBR_quality -lmp3lame

So first test is lame/lame.h which usually becomes available
when you install your Distro's version of the lame-dev package.

In Ubuntu + Debian this package is...

     libmp3lame-dev

You can check your system for this file via the command:

     locate lame/lame.h

Which should show something like...

     /usr/include/lame/lame.h
     /usr/local/include/lame/lame.h
