Rich,

Not your fault.  There is a bug about this:

   http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408

Just hand edit your code changing this:

   typedef int (*GrassErrorHandler)();

to this:
    typedef int (*GrassErrorHandler)(...);

or the other way around as needed.

I am vaguely hopeful that the code in CVS works properly.

Best regards,
