Null Pointer Exception

[mcsquared]

Hi

I'm trying to use devil to load a bitmap, the tutorial on the wiki.

The only difference in the code I am using is that i've added:

IL.create();
ILU.create();
ILUT.create();
ILUT.ilutRenderer( ILUT.ILUT_OPENGL );

before trying to load the image, and:

IL.ilLoadFromURL(IL.class.getClassLoader().getResource(name))

has been changed to:

IL.ilLoadImage(name)

But I keep getting a Null Pointer Exception at the line:

GL11.glGenTextures(scratch);

If you can't tell, I am very new to this and have no idea why this is happening.

Can anybody please help?

Cheers
