As I stated right at the begining of the thread, if I compile Allegro
under a normal Mandrake distribution on the same hardware, then it works
fine. The fli file checks out. (That was one of the first things I 
considered).

I haven't ever used Linux, but IIRC none of the Allegro-packages are preconfigured for any OS but for DJGPP which is Allegro's root. AFAIK the tar.gz and rpm versions include exactly the same as the zip's. You should call fix.sh with some parameter: fix unix, I think.

You should look up this in the appropiate readme-file. I don't know Linux and thus can't exactly say how, but you will have to configure the lib for your compiler/OS.
