You might have counted the lines wrong, or started from 0, because 256_COLOR is probably your problem. Check to see if it matches the define in your headers.

Variables in C can't begin with a number.

True, but #defines can, which seems to be how most bit flags are defined.

thanx boys! i've correct the error! ;)

I ran in to the same problem going through one of the many newbie tutorials - If I remember, the #define was COLOR_256 but it was implemented as 256_COLOR.
