I have just done a take 2 with Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64bit on VirtualBox
and found is was necessary to install 'build-essential' otherwise these
errors appear :-
//checking whether the C compiler works... no//
//configure: error: in `/home/bruno/rpcemu/src'://
//configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables//
However I still did not see the strange "missing" stuff. Google shows
results for that error which may or may not help, I have not followed that
up as I don't have the issue to start with.
I used the release rpcemu 0.8.11 as previously though the mercurial latest
source did build an executable it did not start RISC OS. It is running, the
title bar shows MIPS but there is just a black screen.
Hope this helps.
