    struct instance "undeclared" (first use in this function)

    I'm having trouble getting some code to compile...the following code gives me the error:
    'Chunk' undeclared (first use in this function)
    when compiled with "make" in cygwin.

    Code:
    //create structure for holding chunk data
    struct Chunk
    {
    	unsigned short ID; //first two bytes
    	unsigned int size; //last four bytes
    };
    
    int main() {
            pspDebugScreenInit();
            SetupCallbacks(); 
            printf("3DS Loader version 0.1\n");
            printf("======================\n");
            printf("by David Reicher\n");
    
    	//setup file name
            char* filename;
    	filename = "ms0:/xwing.3ds";
    	int fdin;
    	
    
    	//open file and start reading
    	fdin = sceIoOpen(filename, PSP_O_RDONLY, 0777);
    	if(fdin >= 0)
    	{
    		printf("File opened %s\n\n", filename);
    		
    		
    		Chunk firstChunk;
    
    		int bytes_read = 1;
    		bytes_read = sceIoRead(fdin, &firstChunk->ID, sizeof(firstChunk->ID));
    		printf("ID: 0x%x\n", firstChunk.ID);
    		bytes_read = sceIoRead(fdin, &firstChunk->size, sizeof(firstChunk->size));
    		printf("Chunksize: %u\n", firstchunk.size);
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		printf("Couldn't open %s\n", filename);
    	}
    
    
    	//wait for home button push, then exit
            sceKernelSleepThread();
            return 0;
    }
    I know I'm probably doing something stupid (I'm kind of a newbie), but could anyone give me some advice on where I'm going wrong?

    Code:
    Chunk firstChunk;
    should be
    Code:
    struct Chunk firstChunk;

    Thanks its working fine now (also the last "firstchunk" used should have been "firstChunk").
