I keep getting errors from this, I don't understand the structure used
for namelist??  How do I access this?  I keep getting:

"t.c", line 14: warning: struct/union or struct/union pointer required

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>

main (){int numfiles,i;
	struct direct *(*namelist[100]);
	
	if ((numfiles = scandir(".",namelist,NULL,NULL)) == -1){
		fprintf (stderr,"ERROR: Couldn't open directory.\n");
		exit(1);
	} else printf ("Yeaaaa..... \n");
	fprintf(stderr,"%d \n",numfiles);
	for (i=0;i<=numfiles;i++)
		printf("%s\n",namelist[i]->d_name);
	fflush(stdout);
}
