pymen.h

[pythonnewbie]

I have installed Python-2.3.3 in the SUSE Linux 9.1 system and am
trying to rebuild an application rpm that was implemented in Python, I
got the following error when compiling the application extension
module,

/usr/Python-2.3.3/Include/pymem.h: In function '__declspec'
/usr/Python-2.3.3/Include/pymem.h:51: error: parse error before
'__declspec'
/usr/Python-2.3.3/Include/pymem.h:50: error: declaration for parameter
'PyMem_Malloc' but no such parameter

:

line 50 and 51 of pymem.h are the following,

PyAPI_FUNC(void*) PyMem_Malloc(size_t)
PYAPI_FUNC(void*) PyMem_Realloc(void *, size_t);

I thought '__declspec' was used to specify the Windows DLLs, but  I am
running in the linux environment, do I need to run something else to
setup the correct environment first?

Thanks.
