It's been a while since I've written any C code, so please forgive me if this is a newbie type question. I was having a problem with a larger program when I ran into a problem. The following code snippet should work according to what I remember of C. What's wrong with it? ------------ char * color; char * r="red"; color = r; ------------ gcc -c ar.c ------------ ar.c:3: error: conflicting types for 'color' ar.c:1: error: previous declaration of 'color' was here ar.c:3: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast ar.c:3: error: initializer element is not constant ar.c:3: warning: data definition has no type or storage class ------------ gcc --version ------------ gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
