Accesing structure member:Error:dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

[amit4g]

Hi,

I'm new to c-programming.while trying to access one structure member using infix operator,i'm getting errro message:

[amit@localhost cprg]$ gcc -Wall -Werror struct.c
struct.c: In function `main':
struct.c:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

[amit@localhost cprg]$ cat struct.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
/*Declaration of structure*/

struct human
{
char *first;
char gender[10];
int age;
} man, *p_human;

struct man *p_man;
int main(void)
{
strcpy(man.gender,"Male");
printf("%s\n",man.gender);
printf("%s\n",p_man->gender); <----------
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

The "p_man" is pointer to structure "man".what am i missing here.

Thanks,

got the fix : ) from a different forum.

struct man *p_man; <------- previous code

struct human *p_man=&man; <----- updated code

Thanks,

sheer stupidity by me .(My applogy)
declared a structure pointer and never assigned it to anything(should have assigned it to structure).

Anyways,Better late than never : )
