Given the code you posted that line is fine. The error is likely something else. First of all check the console output if there are any errors/warnings. Especially when switching versions an error that happens a lot is that versions are mixed accidentally. Yes, I know you wrote you updated both - just double-check it (and console might warn about that). For example you might have installed Irrlicht-lib with your system and on linking the gnu-linker always prefers the shared version of libraries so you might get that instead of the static lib which Irrlicht creates by default. You can also take a look at your binary with ldd - that will show you exactly which shared library is used in it.

You know more from far away than me with my eyes on the screen..
I was using Irrlicht installed from the repository, with the package manager, I mean.
So I removed it and re-pointed the project with the newly compiled sdk, and all worked fine!
Now the num pad works perfectly!

Thanks for your patience, bye!
