First of all, it is possibly that the Ubuntu package of SoX
already has AMR support compiled in - have you checked?

You need to have AMR installed, obviously,
and ./configure needs to find it when you build sox.

What exactly do you mean by that?
That you don't know how the AMR package is named?
I don't use Ubuntu, but surely there is a list of the
Ubuntu packages somewhere, so just grep it for 'amr'.
I remember from my Debian days that some of the packages
are (foolishly imho) split into 'package' and 'package-devel',
so you might need to install 'amr-devel' (or whatever it's called).

Once you have amr installed on your system, you need to tell
./confogure about it if it does not find it automagically.
See the summary at the end of ./configure output.
Read './configure --help' and look for amr.
