Dear all....
    I try to rebuild library keyboard.a from the files :
       keyboard.c           (gcc keyboard.c -c)
       keyboard.h 
       irq.c                (gcc irq.c -c)
       irqwrap.s            (gcc -x assembler-with-cpp irqwrap.s -c)
       alexit.c             (gcc alexit.c -c)
       internel.h
       intl.h
       nointl.h
       ceditint.h
    in the file     RHIDE14S.ZIP
    Then the command :
       ar rvs keyboard.a keyboard.o alexit.o irq.o irqwrap.o

I try the library with the program sample.c :

   #include "keyboard.h"

   main() {
    install_keyboard();      
    remove_keyboard();       
    }


The result is :

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV

Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x00001588   _main+16, line 5 of s.c
 
Why ???
But with #include "allegro.h" function install_keyboard() and 
remove_keyboard() work fine
Please help mee !!!!!
