c++ - how to create LLL of char arrays

Question

it seems like every guide is how to create LLL with ints, but I'm having trouble using char pointers. when i run this code, it segfaults immediately

here's my code thus far

struct node    
{
  char * data;
  node * next;   
};

void build(node * head);//create list    
void manipulate(node * & head);//manipulate list    
void display(node * head);//display all    
void delete_list(node * head);//delete all nodes in linked list    
bool again();//asks user if they'd like to continue

int main()
{
  node * head = NULL;
  //create list from user1 input
  while(again)
    build(head);
  //displays list
  display(head);
  //manipulate list as user2 reads through it
  manipulate(head);

  return 0;
}

void build(node * head)
{
  head->next = new node;
  char * data = new char;
  cout << "where to visit? ";
  cin.get(head->data,strlen(data)+1,'
');
  head = head->next;
}

Answer 1

I assume this code:

while(again)
    build(head);

Was meant to be (calling again instead of comparing it to zero):

while(again())
    build(head);

Either way, the first time through the loop head is NULL. But build goes ahead and uses it anyway:

head->next = new node;

Here, using next will produce a segment fault because head is NULL. You are accessing an invalid location in memory.
