Add what?

The allegro-library.
Find out where it is installed, and if the install-directory is not in the standard (linker-)search-path ("/usr/lib") add the folder to the Linkers search directories (in your projects build options).
Add the library to the library list in your projects linker settings, normally it should be enough to add it without the "lib"-prefix and the ending (either "so" or "a").
I do not ave allegro installed, but on debian (and therefore on ubuntu, too) its most likely "liballeg.[so|a]", so adding "alleg" should be enough to link against the library.

Yah it works now!  :D
