I hit the same error message during my daily build of STLport. The simplifi=
ed=20
code looks like this:

-bash-2.05b$ gcc -v
Reading specs from=20
/home/ritzert/gcc-HEAD/install/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.5/3.3/specs
Configured with: /home/ritzert/gcc-HEAD/gcc/configure --enable-threads=3Dpo=
six=20
--prefix=3D/home/ritzert/gcc-HEAD/install
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20021014 (experimental)
-bash-2.05b$ cat x.cpp
const char x[][2] =3D { "Hello", "world" };

-bash-2.05b$ gcc -c x.cpp
x.cpp:1: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char'
x.cpp:1: error: invalid conversion from `const char*' to `char'

It compiled fine just a week ago. (Sorry, I can't be more precise; first th=
ere=20
was the anoncvs update problem, then my build machine went down...).
