does anyone know how I can get rid of this -lamd error???

Do you have libamd on the system? Try with

locate libamd

libamd should be installed as part of umfpack. For Ubuntu, libamd.so comes with libsuitesparse-dev and libufsparse-dev. Maybe you do not have the dev-packages? Try building dolfin with the argument enableUmfpack=0
