You're trying to mix ANSI C++ style I/O with Allegro I/O.
Probably not a good idea in general.  Try this code:


#include <allegro.h>

int main()
{
  allegro_init();
  install_timer();
  install_keyboard();

  if(set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200, 0, 0) < 0)
  {
    allegro_message("no gfx card\n");
    return 1;
  }

  textout(screen, font, "hello world", 40, 40, 15);
  readkey();

  return 0;
}
