ilGenImages throwing exception

[weevil]

I get a nasty exception when trying to use devIL to load images into my textures. What obvious things am i missing here? Do i need to init IL somehow prior to envoking ilGenImages?

My code:

Code:

   IntBuffer cILImage = BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(1);
    IL.ilGenImages( cILImage );

The VM stops when it reaches the ilGenImages.

Console output:

Code:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x0
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=(N/A)

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
      just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
      reason and solutions.

Any insight will be appreciated

Most likely you forgot to call IL.create() before going into your texture loading code.

Hehe I simply wasn't aware that i needed to call IL.create(). Thanks a bunch lightbringer.
