You need a 2.0-current version of amiga.lib.

Alternately, you can define your own OpenScreenTags(), as follows

struct Screen *OpenScreenTags( struct NewScreen *ns, Tag firsttag, ...)
{
    return( OpenScreenTagList( ns, &firsttag ) );
}

Set the NS_EXTENDED flag in the ExtNewScreen structure before you
call OpenScreen().

To make a taglist, you would say:

struct TagItem mytags[] =
{
	SA_Pens, (ULONG) mypens,
	TAG_DONE, 0,		/* Need full tagitem, hence 0 after TAG_DONE */
};

struct ExtNewScreen myens =
{
	...
	... | NS_EXTENDED,	/* Set the extended flag */
	...			/* usual newscreen stuff goes here */
	mytags,			/* taglist pointer */
};

...

	screen = OpenScreen( (struct NewScreen *) myens );
