I had a similar problem trying to build from source using Linux mint debian
edition.

This got it working for me.
Make sure you've got the liballegro libraries installed.

apt-cache search liballegro
liballegro4.2-dev - development files for the Allegro library
liballegro4.4 - portable library for cross-platform game and multimedia
development
liballegro4.4-plugin-alsa - ALSA audio plugin for the Allegro library

If not,

sudo apt-get install liballegro4.2-dev liballegro4.4
liballegro4.4-plugin-alsa

hg clone http://www.home.marutan.net/hg/rpcemu rpcemu

cd rpcemu/src
./configure --enable-dynarec

vi configure

delete the following lines,

if test "$OS" != "win"; then
AM_PATH_ALLEGRO(4.2.2, , as_fn_error $? "building RPCEmu requires
Allegro to be installed" "$LINENO" 5)
fi

make

The link stage will fail as it can't find the allegro library.

vi Makefile

Change the following line,

LIBS = -lpthread -lm

to

LIBS = -lpthread -lm -lalleg

Run make again,

make

You should now have a working rpcemu executable.

Chris.
