Problems Compiling Code With Function Pointers Using Sun CC (SUNWspro)

Question

I have a header file that contains a declaration to a function pointer as follows:
int (*pFuncPntr)(char host, char comm, void *data);
Then, in a *.c file which includes the header file where the function pointer is declared, the prototype for the function is at the top of the file and appears as follows:
int someFunc(char hostname, char community, void *data);
Then, in the same *.c file, down below, I attempt to assign the function pointer to the address of the function declared as follows:
pFuncPntr = &someFunc;
... and further down in the *.c file is the definition of someFunc. ........................
When I compile, I get the following error:
: identifier redeclared: pFuncPntr
current : int
previous: pointer to function(pointer to char, pointer to char, pointer
to void) returning int : "/vobs/pp2dev/src/cmds/emcp_pmgmtd/sparc_solaris/../emc
p_pmgmtd.h", line 84
"/vobs/pp2dev/src/cmds/emcp_pmgmtd/sparc_solaris/emcp_pmgmtd_solaris.c", line 46
As far as I've read, this is the standard way of assigning a function pointer to the address of a function.
Does anyone have any ideas what CC compiler is complaining about?

WHen I try to include the ftp.jar package?? I use "package com.enterprisedt.net.ftp;".That isn't how you import a package. That declares that the class it is at the top of will belong to that package, and that's not what you want. I'm guessing that you need
import com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.*;
at the top of your code, just after the line where you declare the real name of the package your class is going to belong to.
By the way, you need the compiled version of your downloaded FTP code, i.e. the .class files. If you got source code (.java files) you'll need to compile them, but you should be able to get the compiled version as a download.
