C: linked lists confusion

error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
The problem line is "gl->point[0] = (struct list *)&foo;"
I read somewhere that I could be storing a declaration. If that is the case I need that explained to me. 

struct ref {  
    char **name;
    struct list **point;
};

int main ( ) {   
    typedef struct {
        char **name;
        struct list **point;
    } temp;  

    struct ref *gl;  

    gl->name = malloc ( 1024 * sizeof(char *) );  
    gl->name[0] = "A";  

    temp foo;  
    foo.name = malloc ( 1024 * sizeof(char *) );  
    foo.name[0] = "B";  

    gl->point[0] = (struct list *)&foo;   

    printf ( "!%s!\n" , gl->point[0]->name[0] );  
}

Nowhere in the code sample are you defining struct list which is what the error is.

What's struct list? There is no type named struct list (at least in what you've shown).

Maybe you meant struct ref?
