I'm having trouble using some functions in Allegro; I think the documents
assume a little too much (or I'm just dense). I've been trying to learn by
reading bloddy near every source of Allegro tutorials on the Net but I get
things like the following. I know it should work (according to Allegro's
accompanying documentation) and it's copied exactly as is out of a tutorial.
I also know I'm missing something simple, and hope someone will be kind
enough to share. I have a bitmap called Test.bmp and it's 32 x 32, in the
same folder as the executable, but I can't figure out where in the program
the name of it should go (knowing my luck I have to put it a few places).
The compiler gets this far before it stops and returns an error. Much thanx
to whomever schools me in this.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "allegro.h"

BITMAP *pic;
PALETTE pal;

int x,y;

main(void)
 {
allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 set_color_depth(16);
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT,640,480,0,0);
 load_bitmap(pic,pal);


Error: passing 'BITMAP *' as argument 1 of 'load_bitmap(char*, RGB*)'
