You need to link in the Allegro library. You are obviously correctly using
#include <allegro.h>, but you also need to put -lalleg on the gcc command line
at the linking stage. If you only run gcc once to compile and link, put it on
the end of this line. If you run gcc a few times, with the -c parameter, and
then once to link together all the object files, put it on the end of this
line instead.

If you're using RHIDE, go to Options->Linker (I think), and you should get an
array of text boxes; put 'alleg' in the highest empty box, make sure there's
an X in the box next to it, and press OK.
