Create a symbolic link '/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0' to '/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so*' (similiar file).

for example:
# ls /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so*
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
# ln -s /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0
#

And do the same thing to libmusicbrainz.

But you can make the KDE mp3 library enabled more smartly.
Freshrpms' package 'lame' includes libmp3lame.so.0
and libmusicbrainz package is in Fedora core2. (libmusicbrainz-2.0.2-7.1.i386.rpm)
So all you have to do is rebuild kdemultimedia and install these 2 RPMs.
