Are you running "make" from the top-level directory, or are you trying
to compile just part of the tree?

r45541 modified the prototype for G_str_replace() in both
lib/gis/strings.c and include/gisdefs.h. Running "make" in the
"include" directory should install the updated gisdefs.h file to
dist.<arch>/include/grass/gisdefs.h, but this won't happen if you try
to build the "lib" or "lib/gis" directories alone.

In any case, running "make clean" first should fix the problem, even
though it shouldn't be necessary.

FWIW, the lines in question should be:

include/gisdefs.h:580:

	char *G_str_replace(const char *, const char *, const char *);

(and also for dist.<arch>/include/grass/gisdefs.h).

lib/gis/strings.c:136:

	char *G_str_replace(const char *buffer, const char *old_str, const char *new_str)
