That depends, of course, on what MAXHEAP was #defined *to*.
You didn't include the definition in your post, but this:

>Array bounds missing ] in function main.

looks familiar...  A mistake that I frequently make is to

#define MAXTHING 256;

instead of

#define MAXTHING 256		/* Note: no semicolon here */


Remember that a macro definition consists of the entire
line.  You may be getting "Eventtype items[MAXHEAP;];",
which is a syntax error.
