You didn't install the C++ library, which Allegro's setup program
requires. You can either download and install (as you did for the
other djgpp packages) the file `v2gnu/lgp271b.zip' from your favourite
Simtel mirror, or run Make with the `-k' switch, which will make it
ignore the error and continue with the rest of the installation. If
you do the latter, though, the setup utility will not work.

The Allegro FAQ does actually explain this -- perhaps you could tell
Shawn Hargreaves in what way his FAQ is unclear about this?
