Nice to meet you.  Would you mind not posting in HTML?

This means that the libraries and/or library directories you supplied
to make for linking do not include one called 'libbam.a' or
'libbam.so'.  You need to find out where that library is and include
the appropriate -l or -L option for your ld.
