std::bad_alloc on raspberry pi

[disparaissant]

Hey,
I installed the SDL libraries and whatnot, and compiled Gearboy. It seemed to go just fine, but whenever I try to start it, the screen flickers and it says:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
Aborted

i'm guessing i did something wrong, but i can't for the life of me figure out what? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just fixed a bug with sdl, you may want to try again after pulling the changes.

Make sure your Pi is up to date, including the firmware.

I used this guide to install SDL2 on my Pi: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=58180&p=437825

Hope this helps.

thanks for the help
pi is up to date, firmware and all. i recompiled SDL2 and followed those instructions, but now when i try to compile Gearboy, it just spits this out at me almost right away:

main.cpp: In function ‘void init_sdl()’:
main.cpp:150:49: error: ‘SDL_SetVideoMode’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

now i KNOW i screwed something up.

Sorry, I tried to fix it but I'm afraid I'm screwing it up more.
Let me try it on my Pi and I'll get back to you.

I finished porting gearboy to sdl 2, now it should compile without issues but for some reason I'm not getting input events on my pi.
Anyway this may be solved
