That is a confusing error message, isn't it. I seem to recall having 
seen similar errors in the past, though I don't recall what caused it. 
Can you show the declaration of the function that you are attempting to 
wrap ? Could it be that it is using non-standard calling conventions 
(stdcall, fastcall, or some such), causing the compiler to detect a 
mismatch, without being able to report a clear error message ?

Just a shot in the dark...
