pointers

[Gordiano]

What's wrong here?. I did the same with an integer pointer and it
works...

Target: i486-linux-gnu
gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)
=======================================================
// 11/05/2007 *** pointers ///
// se compila con: g++ -Wall ptr3.cc -o ptr3
// se corre con: ./ptr3

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	// ptr3.cc
	char *c_ptr;
	char ch;
	c_ptr = &ch;
	*c_ptr = "hello";// :(  ptr3.cc:17: error: invalid 
	// conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char’
	cout << ch << " is at memory location " << &ch << endl;
	return 0;
}
=======================================================
thanks for help.
