I would try error checking all the calls to see if any fail.

Where is this code?
>    display_copyright();		// Displays my name

Check for error here

>    buffer = create_bitmap(50,50);	// Creates a 50 by 50 bitmap
>    clear(buffer);			// Clears newly made bitmap
>    buffer = load_bitmap(argv[1], the_pallete);	//loads the file into buffer
check for error here too
>    set_pallete(the_pallete);
>    
>    blit(buffer, screen, 0, 0, 5, 5, 640, 480);	//Blits buffer to screen

     ^^^ return 0
