It is impossible to say without seeing some more of your code. Most
likely you have declared either your bmp or your pal variable as the
wrong type: bmp should be a BITMAP *, and pal should be a PALETTE or an
RGB[256].

The ex15.c program demonstrates how to load and display an image file:
look at this to see how you should declare these variables.

Please try to be as precise as possible when asking for help: if you
don't give specific information in your question, it is very hard for
anyone to give you an accurate answer in reply!
