That error hints at an incompatibility between your choice of
compiler&language (current GCC compiling C++ code) and the version of
Allegro you're using.  You'll have to get a newer Allegro, revert back to
an older GCC or use C code, I think.

There's a very high chance that your problem is in the '...', i.e. in
the part you didn't show here.  Either that, or your installed version
of dzcomm is unsuited for use with current C++ compilers, too.

This strongly indicates there are *definitions* of objects in either
your own header file, or in dzcomm.h.  Compile with debug information
and the linker should be able to pin-point the location for you.  As
an alternative, search both your own header file and <dzcomm.h> for
definitions of dzdos_install_irq() and friends.  I would suspect
dzcomm.h.

It *may* help to add a missing 

	extern "C" {
	 //
	}

around your #include <dzcomm.h>.
