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
