Plenty of psychos here, but not many psychics. You gotta show your code AND the error message so we don't have to try to read your mind.
Copy and paste the code, too, so we see exactly what you've written.

p has been declared as void*. That means that p is void. There is no > operator defined for void, hence the error.
What you need to do is define a function which takes two void* parameters, casts them to the correct type, does the comparison and returns the correct result.
Also, the parameter should be a void** then you pass in two void*s to the function and all is bright and rosy.
Have a look at the template for quicksort and you'll get the general idea.
