syntax error while compiling in gcc

hello,

i have a structure defined as follows

struct Image
{
int lenght;
int height;
};

and i have another structure where i declare a array of the above structure

struct ShapeImage
{
Image image[10];
};

when i compile this code with gcc it shows me the following error :

"syntax error before `[' token"

plz help me how should i proceed for this.

thanx in advance

You didnt typedef image. I dont think you can use image just like that.

You will need to declare the array as

struct Image image[10];

Else

Code:
typedef struct 
{
int lenght;
int height;
} Image;

struct ShapeImage
{
Image image[10];
};

else you could do it this way,

Code:
struct  Image
{
int lenght;
int height;
} ;

struct ShapeImage
{
struct Image image[10];
};

i dont think the problem is due to this,

could you please post ur code and the error message that you are receiving?
