I got this.  LD is not seeing libogg.  The root cause of this for me was
that ld was not configured to find libraries in /usr/local/lib.  I fixed
this by adding a line saying

/usr/local/lib

to /etc/ld.so.conf (this is where to do it in debian anyway).  You can also
add /usr/local/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or use
--with-oggprefix as mentioned earlier, but changing the ld configuration
will fix it permanently.

As for which order to install these in, vorbis needs ogg, and vorbis-tools
needs ogg, vorbis and libao.  Whether you compile vorbis or libao first is
up to you.
