Help -- I'm having serious trouble opening the intuition.library (so I can
open windows onto Workbench, etc.)

I'm using code like:

struct IntuitionBase *IntuitionBase;
#define INTUITION_REV /*either 33, 0, 33L, or 0L */

main()
{
IntuitionBase = (struct IntuitionBase *)OpenLibrary("intuition.library",
	INTUITION_REV);
if (IntuitionBase == NULL)
{	printf("Couldn't open lib.\n");
	exit()
}

When the constant INUITION_REV is set to 33 or 0, I simply get "Couldn't open
lib." from the printf.  When I set it to 33L or 0L, I get "software error --
task held", with a guru number of "#0000000A.00C [plus some other numbers].

I'm using Manx 3.6A with the default c.lib (16 bit ints) on a 2-floppy
B2000 that's completely vanilla (nothing else running, nothing bizarre
in the startup-sequence).

I've also tried variations on this code from books like Mortimore's
Amiga Programmer's Handbook and some examples I have from Rob Peck's book --
results are no better.

Any ideas?  Any help would be mucho appreciated.
