We still don't have enough information, but making some assumptions
and wild guesses, I suspect that the compiler is not recognizing
"SPF_request_t". Check it's definition, make sure the definition is
visible to the code with the error, and make sure you spelled
everything correctly. Do the same for all the strange types being
used.
