The user should not have to become root with the system I've developed. All
the Allegro .so along with my application are installed and run from a
directory of the user's choice without requiring to build and install
Allegro ahead of time or require root permission to install Allegro. I have
a bootstrap program that sets up the appropriate LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
ALLEGRO_MODULES env vars and then executes the main application that uses
Allegro.
Thanks for the heads up about other library version dependencies. I'll be
setting up machines with some of the more popular Linux distributions
(Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, Gentoo) to test everything and see
what oddities I run into.

You also need to distribute the modules. Bear in mind that distributing
the .so libraries requires that the user has specific versions of its
dependent libraries installed. I'm not personally convinced that it's a
good idea to do this.
Out of curiosity: what do you do if the user is not (and cannot become)
root?
