This should be needless (already defined in header files).

: text_info *foo;

Change to "text_info foo;"

: gettextinfo (*foo);

Change to "gettextinfo(&foo);"

: cprintf ("%u", foo.screenheight);
: return 0;
: }

: I am told that text_info and foo are undeclared. what should i be doing?

See above.

: and what about the call to cprintf? is that gonna work, if not what should
: that be? i just wanna print the screenheight.

Why not use ScreenRows function (defined in pc.h)?
