You should give more information, such as the command make was
executing which failed; however, I suspect that you don't have djgpp's
C++ support installed.  Allegro 2.2 needed this.  You can do one of:

1) Run `make -k', which will ignore the error.  You'll get a full
working copy of Allegro, but the setup program won't be made.

2) Download the C++ support for djgpp (see readme.1st for details)

3) Use a newer version of Allegro.  The latest work-in-progress
version is October 19, and has many improvements over the 2.2
release.  Recent WIPs have been very stable, but do remember that they
are pre-release versions.  You can get them from the WIP section of
the Allegro homepage:
