This just means that the opcode isn't actually in your system, so it
didn't recognize the name.

Either it didn't get built, or you don't have the LAME library it needs
on your machine.,  (Use 'csound -z' to see if the opcode is actually there.
I suspect not.)

It won't get built if you don't have the lame develop kit.  apt-get should
solve that.
