When I comment out the allegro calls, add the #inclusion of <stdio.h> to 
provide the declaration for the variadic function printf  (required bt the 
standard), and change the #inclusion of "stdlib.h", you code compiles and 
runs for me with no problems:

#include <stdio.h>              /* mha - added. */
#include <stdlib.h>             /* mha - "stdlib.h".  Are you sure you
                                  * don't have a "stdlib.h" masking
                                  * <stdlib.h>? */
