CMU pocketsphinx on Mac: GCC throwing errors in stdio.h - macos

Question

I have installed the latest version of both sphinxbase and pocketsphinx on my mac. In this CMU's site
they have provided a simple hello world code to test the validity of the installation. The code looks like:
#include <pocketsphinx.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
ps_decoder_t *ps = NULL;
cmd_ln_t *config = NULL;
config = cmd_ln_init(NULL, ps_args(), TRUE,
"-hmm", MODELDIR "/en-us/en-us",
"-lm", MODELDIR "/en-us/en-us.lm.bin",
"-dict", MODELDIR "/en-us/cmudict-en-us.dict",
NULL);
return 0;
}
and I have to enter this command below to compile using GCC
gcc -o hello_ps hello_ps.c \
-DMODELDIR=\"`pkg-config --variable=modeldir pocketsphinx`\" \
`pkg-config --cflags --libs pocketsphinx sphinxbase`
where pkg-config would take care about include and library paths.
But the compilation returns the following errors in the stdio.h file (pocketsphinx.h includes the stdio.h).
Restrict requires a pointer or reference (int is invalid)
in several places and also
Unknown typename _FILE (Expanded from macro 'FILE')
I went through stdio.h file and found these corresponding statements and I have no clue what it does. I understand that restrict keyword is not a part of C++ standard but even when compiling with c99, it still throws the same error. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

According to the log you have an extra file /usr/local/include/stdio.h which is not a standard include file. This file was installed by some other software and causes problems.
You need to remove problematic stdio.h (and probably other extra headers) from your system.
Correct stdio.h is in /usr/include folder.
