Problems with srand(), C++

I\'m trying to write a program that generates a pseudorandom numbers using a seed. However, I\'m running into problems.

I get this error

srand doesn't return a random number, it just reseeds the random number generator. Call rand afterwards to actually get a number:

srand(9);
rand_int = rand();
