Thread: error: braces around scalar initializer...

The following snippet encompasses lines 4-56 in my code:

Code:

	record tmpKnowledgeBase[] = {
		{"REPETITION T1**"},
		LINK_SPECIAL,
		{
			"Why are you repeating yourself?",
			"I heard you the first time.",
			"This conversation is starting to bore me.",
			"Don't you have anything else to say?"
		},
		{"REPETITION T2**"},
		LINK_SPECIAL,
		{
			"Yes, I know. You already said that.",
			"Didn't you already say that?",
			"I'm getting the impression you're repeating yourself."
		},
		{"BOT DONT UNDERSTAND**"},
		LINK_SPECIAL,
		{
			"What are you talking about?.",
			"I'm not sure I understand what you mean...",
			"Huh?"
		},
		{"NULL INPUT**"},
		LINK_SPECIAL,
		{
			"What the heck is that supposed to mean?",
			"At least take the time to say SOMETHING.",
			"Talking requires TWO people, you know."
		},
		{"NULL INPUT REPETITION**"},
		LINK_SPECIAL,
		{
			"...",
			"Wow, that's really annoying. Stop it.",
			"What's wrong with you?",
			"This isn't funny - it's just stupid."
		},
		{"HELLO", "HI"},
		LINK_OR,
		{
			"Hey there!",
			"Hello.",
			"Hiya!"
		},
		{"WHAT", "YOUR", "NAME"},
		LINK_AND,
		{
			"My name is "+botName+"!",
			"Does it really matter?",
			botName+", at your service."
		}
	};

Here are the declarations for structs record and keywords:

Code:

typedef struct {
	std::string keyset[TURNERBOT_MAX_KEYWORDS];
	int linkType;
} keywords;

typedef struct {
	keywords keys;
	std::string response[TURNERBOT_MAX_RESP];
} record;

Now, this looks fine to ME, but... I'm not that great a C++. I'm getting the following error when I try to compile:

Code:

Can somebody please tell me what this is talking about and how I can fix it? =/
