Very new to Irrlicht, and need help.

Hey,
I go to compile my FIRST program that is in the examples folder. 01.HelloWorld. I am using Dev-CPP, and I do everything it tells me to do. I include the needed header files, I tell the compiler where to find it and everything. I go through the tutorial, and I go to compile and it compiles fine. I go to run it and the command prompt comes up and dissapears very fast. I go to debug and it says a Access Violation has occured. I go to the main .exe in the folder, and I get a error message that looks like this:

What is up with this? Is there anyway I can fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Chad.

Hi Noob

You shouldn't be getting this error. This means you are linking to an 'old' (or wrong) version of the Irrlicht dll. You can take it from there. Download again and recompile ?

Make sure you read the posts before posing questions or you will get flamed.

Hey,
I am sorry. Do I need to download the whole engine again?

Again, I am sorry for not checking. Won't happen again.

I receieved these errors when I download demos. (old dll) I don't know why you would get it. Torch it all. Everything started ok for me, right out of the box.

Before you go a'downloadin' again...
which Irrlicht.dll are you using?
The one where the precompiled examples are?
If that is the case, then you will get that message.
You are using DevC++, so you need to use the Irrlicht.dll found in the "bin\win32-gcc" folder.
