Malloc array of pointers error

Question

I have the following code:

    interface ** rInterfaces[MAX_REACTANS];
    _reaction->rInterfaces = (interface **)malloc(MAX_REACTANS * sizeof(interface *));

I am getting an error saying:

error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘struct interface **[10]’ from type ‘struct interface **’

I don't know why I am getting this. Any help would be appreciated.

What is _reaction? What is _reaction->rInterfaces?

Judging by your malloc you want a pointer to a pointer to an interface. Drop [MAX_REACTANS] from your declaration. You can also drop the interface ** cast.
