Well, he really doesn't actually need the source, he just needs 
libvorbis-devel installed, so:

apt-get update
apt-get install libvorbis-devel

And that'll work on Debain and Red Hat alike (assuming you've installed 
apt). It is also included on the Red Hat CDs, but I can't speak for any 
other distro.
