Re: Static Const

I am trying to declare a static const member like this...

     ...
   };

but when compiling, keep getting this...

g++ -g -Wno-deprecated -I /downloads/xerces/xerces-c-src_2_3_0/include/
-c remotemanager.cpp
In file included from remotemanager.cpp:7:
remotemanager.h:15: invalid in-class initialization of static data
member of
   non-integral type `const char[]'
make: *** [remotemanager.o] Error 1

I'm missing something small here, but I'm not seeing it.  Seems to be
object related because the same line of code in a simple main() function
works fine.  Thoughts?
Read section 9.4.2 paragraph 4 of the std

I'll precis it for you 'in-class initialization of static data member of
non-integral types are not permitted' :)
