I was trying to compile a program statically, and it required libasound. When I tried to compile it I got the following errors:
g++ -I/usr/sness/marsyas-debug/include/marsyas -g -static -I/usr/sness/include -c -o mirex_extract.o mirex_extract.cpp

Turns out I just needed to add -ldl to your LDFLAGS like this:
LIBS = -L/usr/sness/lib -lpthread -lasound -lmad -ldl
g++ -g -static -I/usr/sness/include -o mirex_extract mirex_extract.o /usr/sness/marsyas-debug/lib/libmarsyas.a -L/usr/sness/lib -lpthread -lasound -lmad -ldl
