That was the next one I tried.  That yielded a syntax error.  I found
out though that the "two or more data types" error was the result of a
more difficult bug to find that had to do with something in another
header file.  Once I fixed that, the declaration char * readline();
worked.  Needless to say I'm very embarassed now... :-P
