I take it you must have seriously mistyped this message when you copied
it from your screen. The message should have read:

	cannot find -lalleg

or similar, i.e. it's an 'l' (ell), not a '1' (one) up front, and
ALLEG should be written in lowercase.

The real reason probably is that you didn't 'make allegro' and
copy the resulting liballegro.a into the DJGPP lib directory, yet.
