Hi -  I was just going over a great C review site - Dave Marshall's at
http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/ and found a strange struct example I can't
get to compile.


  typedef struct {  int value;
    ELEMENT *next;
 } ELEMENT;
.
.-----------------------------

I get: " parse error before ELEMENT, warning: no semicolon at end of struct
or union, ELEMENT undeclared, parse error before return

Perhaps its very late and I'm becoming disillusional as I typically become
at this hour, but what am I missing here.  Shoudn't this work.  It seems to
be spitting up on the self reference.
