cmake does complain:
ALSA: no

So it looks like you are not having the libasound2-dev package installed. Hard to tell without the full cmake log though. The same problem should also arise if you attempt to build fluidsynth 1.1.6.

Note that it neither finds the LADSPA dev files:
LADSPA support: no

Hello,

I cannot run fluidsynth using ALSA

A few details:

Platform: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, x86_64
fluidsynth: 1.1.7
cmake: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -Denable-ladspa=1

cmake yields :
**************************************************************
Summary:
Build type: RelWithDebInfo
libsndfile: no (raw audio file rendering only)
D-Bus: no
PulseAudio: no
JACK: no
ALSA: no
PortAudio: no
OSS: yes
MidiShare: no
CoreAudio: no
CoreMIDI: no
Windows: no
LADSPA support: no
LASH support: no
LADCCA support: no
OS/2 DART support: no
Audio to file driver: yes
IPV6 Support : yes
Readline: no
Samples type=float: no (using double)
Profiling: no
Debug: no
Trap on FPE (debug): no
Check FPE (debug): no
**************************************************************

cmake does not complain about finding ALSA, and will yield the same even if I change -Denable-ladspa=1 to -Denable-alsa=1

after a successful 'make':

./fluidsynth -a alsa FluidR3_GM.sf2 LUTE.mid
yielded : fluidsynth: error: Couldn't find the requested audio driver alsa. Valid drivers are: file, oss.

./fluidsynth -a file FluidR3_GM.sf2 LUTE.mid
yielded : fluidsynth.raw, which was playable by Audacity. Also complained about MIDI.

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards, Mike
