it works if I remove the "const". But is it the correct solution? const in C confuses me.
Basically, if you know what you are doing, you can safely remove "const" declaration - it is used (mostly) only to prevent accidental modification access (i.e. - obvious attempt to modify, visible to compiler at compile-time).
Of course, the presence of "const" won't make any structure read-only ( not in standard C, at least) :)
