struct node *next;
to start, remove the keyword struct from the above line. Not needed in C++.
You ask how many people should be stored but you have no loop.
----So use a for loop for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
In C++ struct keyword isn't needed.
If you'd rather adopt a more C++ style (preferred in memory management) use new and delete. --- node *tmp=new node;
you should at least have a node* head; which always points to the first node in the list.
...and this code does run, next time tell us exactly
what you'd like us to look at
