You did not install aalib1-dev_1.2-25.deb?
Package: aalib1-dev
Version: 1.2-25
Architecture: m68k
Depends: aalib1 (>= 1.2-18), libc6-dev
Description: ascii art library, development kit
AAlib is a portable ascii art graphics library. Internally, it works like
a graphics display, but the output is rendered into platform-independent
ascii graphics.
.
This package contains the static library and header files used in
development.
If you want to _write_ your own programs using a library, you have to install
a -dev package. If you _run_ a program which uses the (shared) library, you
just need the normal (non-dev) package.
Not a library expert here, but I think all libs in debian are organised by
this.

Because upstream does not seperate dev and non-dev (normal users do not need
the -dev package).

Just aview, aalib is ok.
For the moment you can probably install aview with --force --depends.
