title: expected specifier-qualifier-list before
body: <p>I have this struct type definition:</p>
  
  <pre><code>typedef struct {
      char *key;
      long canTag;
      long canSet;
      long allowMultiple;
      confType *next;
  } confType;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When compiling, gcc throws this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>conf.c:6: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘confType’
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What does this mean? It doesn't seem related to other questions with this error.</p>
