Problem not solved, but avoided.  

If that particular change made the code compile, that definitely means
you're compiling it as C++, not C.  You never showed us an actual
compilation command line, so it's hard to say how that happened.  But
happen it did.  If forced to bet, I'd place my money on capital C
vs. lower-case C.
