It's not a path problem; it's an incorrect environment setup.  You must
set the DJGPP environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT like so:

set DJGPP=C:/djgpp/djgpp.env

The file 'djgpp.env' contains the environment settings for DJGPP
programs, and the "DJGPP" variable must point to it for these programs
to work.  This information is all contained in 'readme.1st', which it
looks like you didn't read entirely.

Also, please download the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq202b.zip) - this exact problem is answered in section 8.1.

There is also a bug in the allegro 2.1 source code that causes it to
fail compilation under DJGPP v2.01.  You need to change two lines in the
file "bank.S" that use incorrect operator-operand size suffixes.  I
don't recall the exact fix, but a search of the mailing list archives at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/mail-archives/ for "allegro" should turn up
the answer.

Good luck!
