I'm using allegro 3.0 and I'm having some problems doing dynamic 
pointer arrays for BITMAP structs (something like BITMAP *sprite[10])

how can I allocate memory with for example malloc or calloc for
BITMAP pointer arrays. I've tried it like this:

BITMAP **sprite;

sprite=(BITMAP**)malloc(num_sprite*sizeof(BITMAP));

sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. I don't even know whether
I'm allocating the memory correctly. If somebody knows how to do this 
please tell me too.
