    Debugging error

    I get the following error code:

    error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘struct’

    for the code below:

    Code:
    typdef struct {
    	char data[1024];
    } page;
    Could someone tell me what is wrong with that?

    typdef should be typedef.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Get a editor/IDE that supports syntax highlighting. Then, all your keywords will show up in a certain color text, and such misspellings will stand out.
