title: "char not expected" error when compiling in MINIX
body: <p>I need to print a line to the screen and then  get user input, but the <code>printf("blah")</code> statements cause my code to not compile. The error message says 'char not expected" but when I comment the <code>printf()</code> statements out, then the code compile.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
  
  int main(void) 
  { 
      printf("Welcome to the shell!\n"); 
      printf("shell:&gt;");
      char* inp = (char*)malloc(20); // error at this line
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using the cc compiler in MINIX 3.1.0</p>
