Hi!
  Of course I have it, I wouldn't write this otherwise :-).
  I correctly specified its path to the configure script, it was found and
included in the Makefile:

Makefile:LAME_INCS = -I/opt/sound/include
Makefile:LAME_LIBS = -L/opt/sound/lib -lmp3lame -lm

  However, it doesn't work because I've found in the source code, that the
library is searched just in /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib, which, as You can 
see, is not my case :-). I patched the code and changed /usr/local/lib to
/opt/sound/lib and yes, now it works :-).
  So I think it's an imperfection (not really a bug) of the source, because
the building system knows about the LAME location but ignores it. It should
be solved, for example by adding a -DLAME_LOCATION=<real location> option to
the compiler and making the code search it there, instead of, for example,
/usr/local/lib, or in addition to the paths searched normally.
  I can try to write the patch. Would it be accepted and incorporated to
the source ?
