error: initializer element is not constant

Question

I've created a new class and i want to declare a NSDictionary containing a table of values so that it's available in the rest of my application.

I did it this way as a property of the class (modified):

NSDictionary *ell = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    [[JFEllipsoid alloc] initWithRadius:6377563.396 withInvF:299.3249646], @"key1",       
    [[JFEllipsoid alloc] initWithRadius:6377340.189 withInvF:299.3249646], @"key2",
nil};

When i compile i get this error:

error: initializer element is not constant

How/Where can i declare this array of data so that it's available when i instance that class?

See this question:

To make a long story short, you can try declaring your string data as extern const before using them, or you can change the scope of where you're declaring your NSDictionary.
