But these are standard header files

No - they are part of a specific package. Nothing standard about them as
far as the C language goes.

I do wonder whether you'd get better help about developing with this
package by posting to a forum specifically for it, rather than a general
C newsgroup. Looking here <http://www.libspf2.org/support.html> suggests
some possibilities.

But that is not a group of programmers. I simply wanted to know what
this error means
error: expected ')' before '*' token

Definetly it loooks like a syntax error , but there is absolutely no
error on that line
If I comment out the entire function and its declaration , then I dont
get this error. I just declare this function , without even defining
the code for it and gcc gives me this stupid error
