format argument is not a pointer

Although I no nothing about C++ I am trying to edit a program so that it adds a record to a sqlite database. I am getting a few warnings and errors which stops it compiling. So I need a little help fixing it
errors:

PHP Code:




make: Warning: File `logger.cpp' has modification time 45 s in the future 
g++  -c -Wall -O -g logger.cpp -o logger.o 
logger.cpp: In function `void* start_one_channel(void*)': 
logger.cpp:607: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 6) 
logger.cpp:629: error: jump to case label 
logger.cpp:603: error:   crosses initialization of `char*zErrMsg' 
make: *** [logger.o] Error 1

code sample:

PHP Code:




        char *zErrMsg = 0; //line 603 
        char sql[200]; 
        int rc; 
        sqlite3 *db; 
        sprintf(sql, "insert into call_data (direction, call_time, dest, trunk_no, file_name)values('%s','%s','%s','%s','%s')", details.inout, details.statime,details.cidn,channel,details.filename); //line 607 
        rc = sqlite3_open("/var/tmp/logger/database/logger.db", &db); 
        rc = sqlite3_exec(db, sql, NULL, 0, &zErrMsg); 
        if( rc!=SQLITE_OK ){ 
        //fprintf(stderr, "SQL error: %s\n", zErrMsg); 
        sqlite3_free(zErrMsg); 
        } 
        sqlite3_close(db); 
        LOGIT("[%02d] sql string = %s\n",channel,sql); 
 
 
                        // Clear out details ready for next call 
                        details.inout[0] = 0; 
                        details.filename[0] = 0; 
                        details.statime[0] = 0; 
                        details.endtime[0] = 0; 
                        details.cidn[0] = 0; 
                        details.cidt[0] = 0; 
                        strcpy(details.term, ""); 
            break; 
                         
                        default:        // Any thing else ?? line 629 
                        break; 
 
                    } 
                    break;

Any ideas?

logger.cpp:607: warning: format argument is not a pointer (arg 6)
This refers the the variable channel, which apparently is not a char* (pointer to char, the standard c-string). The answer might be to put &channel instead, but you'll have to post the declaration of channel otherwise I can't tell.

logger.cpp:629: error: jump to case label
logger.cpp:603: error: crosses initialization of `char*zErrMsg'
I think the solution here is to enclose everything from case lable to the break in curly braces. That is, scrolling up from line 603 look for a line with

Code:

case SOMETHING:

put a { after the colon, add a } before the break here:

Code:

                        strcpy(details.term, "");

            }

            break;

Thanks I sorted that out only to be confronted by another problem. I think it has something to do with linker or LD but I am not sure. Any Ideas?
