To install Allegro, either copy a precompiled version of Allegro from 
the bin directory of the distribution to a directory in your path, 
e.g. `cp bin/allegro.linux /usr/local/bin/allegro',
or compile Allegro from scratch using the following steps.

In the root directory of the distribution, type `./configure', and
then compile by typing `make'.  This will produced an executable 
version of the code in this same root directory of the distribution.
That program should be copied to a directory in your path.

Allegro should compile with gcc versions 2.8 or later.  gcc is 
available for free at http://www.gnu.org.

To install after compiling type `make install'. Only a superuser
(system administrator) can issue this command.
