Ok, I'll bite.  I'm no C guru like some people are here, but I can answer this.

                 This should give you a good clue as to what is going on.

Yep.  c is the name of an array.  As such it is a constant value (i.e. it
is not a valid lvalue).  You are in effect trying to assign a value to a
constant.  I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do with but you need
to either make it a scalar or an array but not both.
