?? warning: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument passing

[Chris Seberino <seberino spawar navy mil>]

   pthread_t thread;

   pthread_create(&thread, NULL, (void*) &doSimulation, NULL);

Help! I trying to assign a function to a thread in my amateur
PThread calls above.  Without (void*) before function name I get
an error and WITH (void*) I get following warning:

warning: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument passing

This would all be harmless except I believe newer GTK+
or something in my Linux distro upgrade causes BOTH
(with and without (void*)) to return an error!!!

NEITHER WORKS!!

Is there someway to fix this to avoid errors and warnings??

Chris
