Hello,

I am having difficulty accessing images in my images directory from the game I wrote. My game's images are stored in the 'images' directory and my .c file is trying to access them to render on the screen. But I don't see any images. I tried to re-install Mandriva and specify Standard security. Didn't work. I also tried to type:

'chmod +r images' to change read permissions but that doesn't work too. I also tried 'msec 0' to set the security level. Didn't work. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix it. Please help.

Also, my 'images' directory has the correct name in my game's code so the images ARE there and pointing to the right location, it's just I can't see them on the screen and the program throws an error telling me that it can't acess the images (but my sound files work perfectly)

Thank you,
Victor.

And if you run your application with strace? Does that supply any useful error messages?

Hi,

Thank you for replying. Well, the image library I am using (imlib) posts its own error message stating:

"This program is calling the Imlib call:
imlib_render_image_on_drawable();
With the parameter:
image
being NULL. Please fix your program"

I also run the strace but it basically re-states what that message said:

stat64("./images/explode0.png", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3173, ...}) = 0

No idea what to do next.

Victor.
