From the looks of the source, what you posted was a header file (.h) to be
#included in C++ source files. If you #include it in more than one C++
file, the mmeber functions will be multiply defined and you get the error
you paraphrased. The solution in this case is to write an extra C++ file
which #includes the header with the class definition, and move the member
function definitions from the header file into this new C++ file. Then you
compile this C++ file and link it in.
