you don't initialize a vector. vector is a container. it's good to go when you declare it. you initialize an object, and push it to the container.

Your vector is not a pointer, and it is already initialized here:

std::vector<animation*> animlist; // size 0 vector of animation pointers

What you do in the next line is to attempt to assign a pointer to an std::vector<animaiton*> to animlist. This doesn't work because a vector does not have an assignment operator that takes a pointer to a vector of the same type.
