can not see my syntax error

list textures = [
   	"xx3cc6c8-e6d2-838d-d4b0-f1bff7ceba68",
   	"xx5585e4-378b-0d11-512f-85fe7ccbb965"
   	];
    integer textureCount   = llGetListLength(textures);
    

gets a syntax error right before "" in llGetListLength() call. i have been staring at it and permuting it for an hour. time to hope someone has better eyes than i. clue bat please.

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list textures = [
       "xx3cc6c8-e6d2-838d-d4b0-f1bff7ceba68",
       "xx5585e4-378b-0d11-512f-85fe7ccbb965"
       ];
    integer textureCount   = llGetListLength(textures);
    }
}
