C Turn indicator void *

Hi guys, I'm new to C, and for my first project I need to implement an array based queue. I want my queue to be able to contain any object, so I created a QueueElement structure to hold a void pointer to an object of any type. I think everything works, except that I cannot read the position and value fields from my QueueElement structure. When I try to compile, I get the following error.

Error:

Runnable.c: In function `main':
Runnable.c:10: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
Runnable.c:11: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

I'm sure I just don't believe it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again, Dog

Runnable.c

   #include <stdio.h>
    #include "Queue.h"

    int main(void) {
            int i = 9;
            Queue q = CreateQueue();
            QueueElement e = CreateQueueElement(&i);
            Enqueue(q, e);
            QueueElement f = Dequeue(q);


            /* PROBLEM IS HERE */
            printf("position: %d", f->position);
            printf("value: %d", (int *)(f->value));
            DestroyQueue(q);
            return 0;
    }
