It is a typo in your source file. You cast to GLfoat. The type defined in gl.h is GLfloat.

Don't worry. Someone who tells you that he never made a mistake like that is a bloody liar. 8)

This is a good example of how important accurate information ( = posting the complete compiler message) can be.

EDIT:
Of course the typo has been in the code you posted all the time, and nobody saw it. This once again proves that nobody reads posts with more than 10 lines :lol:

Don't feel bad. It happens to me once in awhile. I had a function that wouldn't compile for months because my declaration in the header had a & and the actual function code didn't. I compared them at least 25 times until someone else pointed it out to me @ gamedev.net  :lol:

Yup one time it took me four weeks to figure out why something wouldn't compile. I had forgot to put the semicolon at the end of my class definition.  :oops: Yes four weeks. I was a newcomer to the classes thing.  :P
