Redefinition of symbol ???

[Bruce Korb]

I must be missing something.  I'm trying to forward declare some
static data arrays, but I'm getting this:

> static type_info_t const type_info_table[257] = {
> evlib-tables.c  169  Error 31: Redefinition of symbol 'type_info_table' compare
>     with line 21, file evlib-tables.h

the "evlib-tables.c" (as you see) contains the initializer and
the .h file does not:

> static type_info_t const type_info_table[257];

So, I've compared 'em and do not understand the difference.
I did not find anything obvious in bugzilla (fixed or otherwise).

So, is it me or the compiler?  :)  Thank you.
