This usually happens because the symbol DJGPP is not defined when the 
preprocessor runs, which then triggers the error message.  You need to 
understand why doesn't cpp define DJGPP on your machine.

One possibility is that you have installed RSXNTDJ on your system, which
overwrites the file called "specs" with its own version.  The stock DJGPP 
version of the file "specs" comes with the djdev202.zip archive, and it 
does define the DJGPP symbol.

If you cannot figure this out, add -v to the compiler command line when 
you compile one of the Allegro source files, and post here everything 
that is printed by the compiler (it's a lot of print-out, so it's best to 
redirect compiler's output to a file; use the REDIR program for that).  
Then somebody will be able to spot the problem.
