So, why do you ask us if "you dont WANT to get it again" ? :-) You fired up your 'ol compiler? Which one? DJGPP 1.0 ? :-| Now be more specific! The 0 sized array may be the part that contains the RLE bitmap data. But there's nothing wrong with it. X people using Allegro don't have any problems. So why don't you first check your compiler, maybe have a look at Allegro's EXAMPLES dir when searching for example code :-), probably get the latest version of DJGPP and after this torture try it again. And, have you already built the Allegro libraries? Huh..!? (What compiler have you got?)
