    Well, I don't think I know what you mean.  Could you post the EXACT error message
that gcc gives you?  Your 'variables' array should be initialized as follows:

double drive, room,picture,house;

struct vars
{
char *vname;
double *var;
};

struct vars variables[]
= {
  {"drive", &drive},
  {"room", &room},
  {"picture", &picture},
  {"house", &house}
  };
