Indeed, there was an error whe building the package... so the file 
wasn't included... ;-(

Strange problem...
Do you have the .h files in the directory /usr/include/id3 (or 
/usr/local/include/id3) like tag.h?

Else could you send the config.log file? (With this file we should 
understand why it doesn't detect id3lib)
