What data type do you have for "theWindow"?

When you run the program are you getting an SDL window? How much do
you see before it crashes?

Also, for one or both of the co-ordinates have you tried replacing
them with NULL just for debusgging to see what happens? This might
tell you if the problem is with the cordinates or with the surfaces.
