Well, that means, that you use an integer, where an pointer is
expected.

See the following program:

int main (void)
{
  int *foo;

  foo = 5;

  return 0;
}

Here we have an variable 'foo', which is defined as an int pointer.
But, we want to assign an int to 'foo' and not an int pointer.

...Just an example.
