If you're new to Ubuntu, I suggest working with the Ubuntu repositories. Use the Synaptic package manager to get acquainted. I did a quick check and there are some Allegro files there. That might be what you need (or not.)

This presupposes that you know how to use allegro (which, unfortunately, I don't.)

In Synaptic, you can select your installed package, right click, and check its properties. That will show you what files have been installed.
