           ^^
You're compiling EX1.C with a capital C at the end.  GCC takes this to 
mean it's a C++ file.  RHIDE won't let me compile with a small c at the 
end, either.  Is this a bug in RHIDE?

But wait, there's more!

                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS one means you haven't linked it to the Allegro library...  Did you 
run MAKE in the Allegro directory before attempting to compile, like it 
said in README.TXT?  Then, MAKE would have compiled these for you.  Plus, 
it would have compiled the liballeg.a file you need to link this stuff to.

Try reading the docs.  It helps.
