liblame-dev is in the multiverse repository. If it's not already
enabled, add the following to /etc/apt/sources.lst:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy multiverse

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-security multiverse

Then at a shell prompt:

$ sudo apt-get update #skip this if multiverse was already enabled

$ sudo apt-get install liblame-dev

That should do the trick.
