Re: [Rpcemu] Allegro not installed Mint 17

Hi,

Thanks, I had checked build-essential after reading your earlier post
and it was present.

Since rpcemu successfully compiled after I moved allegro.m4, I have
experimented and replicated both faulty and non-faulty situations just
by moving said file - in the "good" location, the straightforward
"./configure" then "make" works perfectly; with it in the "wrong"
location I get the errors I reported before.

Sean.
