No, it didn't. I had followed the instructions on the page you refer to
first before I tried hunting for other suggestions. Sorry I didn't make this
clear.

I was trying aclocal as part of a sequence of suggestions from the posting a
year ago from Sean Kelly:

----------------
To save you look up time, here's what I did from start to finish.

1. Downloaded and unpacked the RPCEmu source code
http://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/cgi/download.php?sFName=0.8.11/rpcemu-0.8.11.tar.gz

2. Used the software manager in Mint to install liballegro4.2 and
liballegro4.2-plugin-jack and liballegro4 liballegro4-dev.

3. Copied (I could have moved) allegro.m4 from /usr/local/share/aclocal/
to /usr/share/aclocal/

4. Opened a terminal and issued the following commands - I know these
shouldn't all be required, but it's what worked for me, eventually, as
neither the deprecated nor the latest instructions on marutan.net
worked. I'm thinking make clean won't be required for you, since it will
all hopefully work first time.

cd rpcemu/src/
aclocal
automake
autoconf
make clean
LIBS="-lm -lpthread" ./configure --enable-dynarec
make

Then it was just a matter of copying the ROMs etc.

----------------

My symptoms had been the same as those he reported a year ago, but I had no
allegro.m4 file anywhere in /usr

I have now had a go at copying allegro.m4 from my old laptop onto the Ubuntu
10.04 laptop and RPCEmu now compiles. I am not sure which package is
supposed to supply the allegro.m4 file. I was not able to install liballegro
4.2 as Ubuntu's oldest offering is 4.4. I don't know whether that would
explain what happened.
