Well, by doing the following ...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. ...
  2. background = load_image("background.bmp");
  3.  
  4. if(background == NULL)
  5. {
  6.     // load_image() failed ...
  7.     cout << "load_image() failed, error: " << SDL_GetError() << endl;
  8. }
  9.  
  10. apply_surface(100, 100, message, screen);
  11. ...

I got output as follows:

load_image() failed, error: File is not a Windows BMP file

Is it an image you changed manually from .jpg (for example) to bmp by just renaming the file?

Ah, GIMP didn't support BMP, but I saved it anyway... I'm going to make a new background.
Thanks for the solution!
