Make sure the allegro library liballeg.a is being linked in... in RHIDE 
you need to go to the libraries section of one of the menus, and fill in 
one of the options with 'alleg', making sure the checkbox is selected. On 
the command line, outside RHIDE, you would type:

 gcc EX1.cc -lalleg

Put the -lalleg at the end of the line. Also, make sure allegro.h is 
copied to your include directory and liballeg.a is copied to your library 
directory, or that you modify your djgpp.env in such a way that it can 
find these files.
