Dear Randy,
	Your command is wrong. It should be 'gcc playmp3.c -Wall -o 
playmp3.exe -lamp -lalleg'. 
Please note that -lamp has to come before -lalleg. 

Reason -: If I'm correct the linker is a one pass linker so that since 
the libamp library calls some routines from the allegro library the 
libamp lib(-lamp)  must be put before the allegro lib (-lalleg) in the 
command line, otherwise the linker won't be able to find the 
references and give the error's you got.

BTW Didn't you get the libdemo.exe file. Did it work?

The files were libamp.h to djgpp\include and libamp.a to djgpp\lib.

Hope this helps you!
Bye!
Kalum.
