I'm thinking it's because you've include C-ish headers
into C++-ish code.  Did you do an:

extern "C"
{
#include <foo.h>
}

The exact cause of this error is usually function
declerations like:

foo(int x) { ... }

which is implicitly expanded to

int foo(int x) { ... }

In C, but is illegal in C++.

I could be on crack here, but that's my 2 cents worth.
