C process died on signal 10

will someone please explain to me why this is happenning.

compiles fine, when i run it though, i get this:

 ----jGRASP exec: /Users/mynamehere/Documents/CSC/a.out

 ----jGRASP wedge: process died on signal 10.
 ----jGRASP: operation complete.

heres the actual code, i've combed through it plenty times, and i still can't figure out this error. im using jGrasp, which is what was given to us by our professor, on mac os x 10.4
i've checked and verified the text file myself, and it's perfectly fine. i've also compiled and ran it on our campus' UNIX system using gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic, but that returns "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Your char* name doesn't point to a buffer when fscanf uses it. Remember, fscanf doesn't malloc any space for strings - you need to do this yourself beforehand.

oh my god you saved my life.
thank you so much.

we haven't learned that in class, and it isn't mentioned anywhere in the text. my program now works.

thank you again.

I don't know about any other compilers, but Microsoft's Visual C++  compiler would've reported a warning of "uninitialized local variable 'name' used" for this particular class of error.

you suck, rewrite it in c++
