In the LGPL ephcom library (53 KB) available from:
http://ephemeris.com/software.html do I get an error when using make or trying to compile ephcom.c directly:

gcc -g -O2 -c -o ephcom.o ephcom.c
ephcom.c: In function ‘ephcom_writebinary_block’:
ephcom.c:1418: error: conflicting types for ‘ephcom_outdouble’ ephcom.c:1266: error: previous declaration of ‘ephcom_outdouble’ was here ephcom.c: At top level:
ephcom.c:1767: warning: ‘ephcom_cheby’ declared inline after being called ephcom.c:1767: warning: previous implicit declaration of ‘ephcom_cheby’ was here
make: *** [ephcom.o] Error 1

So what shall I do to safely avert this error? (I don't want to mess up things so I ask the experts here.)

Thank you very much in advance.

Change line 1266 from:

	double ephcom_outdouble(FILE *, double);
to:
	int ephcom_outdouble(FILE *, double);

And report this issue to [email protected].

The return value is never used anyhow.
