You are trying to copy a whole book of spells with one stroke of
the assignment wand. As Professor Dumbledore would have already
told you in advanced incantations, that only works when you are
copying into an alterable almanac from a book written in, say,
the language of Tran (particularly the dialect close to the fort).
It is much simpler to copy one page at a time.

Indeed, the newer gcc's have been updated with an explanation
daemon, which tells you,
<geekspeak>
test.cpp:7: ISO C++ forbids assignment of arrays
</geekspeak>
