  You should have a prototype for the function in a header file
(callbacks.h).  Then you should include the header file at the top of each
file that contains code that calls the function (at least callbacks.c and
main.c in your case).  If you failed to include the header file, when the
compiler sees the function call, it assumes the function has some default
args and return value type.  Then, when the functions is defined, if it does
not match the default, it says that the function was declared twice.
