I encountered the same problem when I downloaded a C++ algorithm to
calculate spline curve coefficients from the web. In this particular code,
the author had placed a #ifdef CSPLINE before the main function and a #endif
just after the main function (CSPLINE was defined in the header file). To
get the project working I simply removed these two lines! As far as I can
see this modification has had no adverse effects...
