		return auxDIBImageLoad ( Filename );

it would help if you gave us the exact line.

Also you probably want to open with "rb", not "r"

AUX_RGBImageRec isn't a type name.

You're either spelling it wrong or it doesn't exist in the library(ies) you're using.

how could it not be right? i took it right off the tutorial website
Disch (13742)
The tutorial must be using some lib you don't have. Or a different version of the lib.

Or it's a bad tutorial.
