g_list_append - cannot convert error

[miette <linux_uber_alis yahoo com>]

I'm trying to create a GList, so I can add items to a
combo box. I use the following code:

GList *glist = NULL;
glist = g_list_append (glist, "String");

and I get this error:

cannot convert `const char *' to `void *' for 
argument `2' to `f_list_append (GList *, void *)'

Am I missing something? Using GTK 1.2.10.

Thanks
