any suggestions or help would be great.

QEMU needs something to draw the display on (if you are not planning to use it without a display, then append --disable-gfx-check to the configure line). You probably need SDL (Cocoa is only used in Mac OS X)

Install libsdl-dev to use SDL output and re-run the configure script.
