argument doesn't match prototype error in Linux

I have header file with the following function declaration:

extern  getEmailDetailsResult * getemaildetails_5(getEmailDetailsInput *, CLIENT *);

In my .C file, the function definition is 

getEmailDetailsResult* getemaildetails_5(inputParams, rqstp)
    getEmailDetailsInput *inputParams;
    struct svc_req *rqstp;

When I compile my program in Unix, compilation is successful. But in Linux (gcc 4.1.2), I get the following error "error: argument ârqstpâ doesnât match prototype". The .h file which has the function prototype is generated by the OS during compilation. What may be the cause of error in Linux?

It looks like the struct svc_req * pointer is not equivalent to the CLIENT * pointer.

You have two pointers, struct svc_req * and CLIENT *. You are getting this error because the two pointers each point to a different type. That is a struct svc_req is not the same kind of thing as a CLIENT, so the two pointers are not compatible.
