         No, my printf statement IS perfectly legal (all I'm doing is have it 
print quotes around the DEM_PATH...don't ask why, it just works).  To prove my 
point I have completely commented it out, and I still have the same error.  
Here is a modified code:
 
DATAFILE *terra;

 int main (int c, char **v)
 {
         terra = load_datafile("terra.dat");
         char *str;
 }

        The funny thing is that if I write it as:

DATAFILE *terra;

 int main (int c, char **v)
 {
         char *str;
         terra = load_datafile("terra.dat");
 }

        ...IT WORKS?!?!?!  I can live with writing it this way, but I want to 
know why the compiler pukes when I write it the other way.  Can any help me 
here?  I'd appreciate it!

                                                                PV
