Problems using the .dll

Hi!

I'm new to GD and I want to test it.

I've downloaded gd-2.0.34-win32.zip so that I can use it on my project.
I've created a new project on Visual Studio 2005.

Add the gd include/ directory to my project and also the lib/ directory.

It all compiles and links fine.


When I'm running the application I get the error:

(...)
'Teste2.exe': Loaded 'E:\MyProjects\Teste2\debug\bgd.dll', Binary was 
not built with debug information.
(...)
First-chance exception at 0x7c918fea in Teste2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation writing location 0x00000010.
Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in Teste2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation writing location 0x00000010.


This exception happens somewhere in this line:
  gdImagePng(im, pngout);




Anyone can give me a hint on this?
Or how can I compile the .dll myself?


Thanks
