  1. Use [code][ / code] tags for sources and listings.
  2. C is a high-level language, so things like this should be posted in the appropriate forum
  3. Don't double-post, it's against the rules
  4. What error do you get?
  5. C is a case-sensitive language

Hello Annapurna,

Your problem is the capital _V_ in void. This should be:

void *fork_thread( void *ptr ) // not Void

There are other problems with your code. May I suggest the following link? POSIX Threads | Lo�c OnStage
( In particular, the post: "The main thread" and "Pthreads arguments passing" )

Cheers,
Lo�c
