OK, sounds like you're using RHIDE. Good. You DON'T put Allegro.h as part of
your project. These are the steps:

1. Put this line in before main():
#include <allegro.h>

2. In RHIDE, go to Options->Libraries. Add the word alleg to the list and
make sure you check the box next to it.

For all this to work of course, you need liballeg.a copied into your
\djgpp\lib directory and allegro.h copied into your \djgpp\include
directory.

Please tell me how you go.
