You are obviously correctly using #include , 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. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford.
