Thanks for noticing this. The error is reproducable on Linux too when 
compiling with GCC in C (as opposed to C++) mode. Since libvoikko and most 
real world applications using it are written in C++ it is common that 
something not compatible with plain C goes to the header file and nobody 
notices.

In this case the problem is that C++ allows struct types to be used without 
struct keyword but C (and apparently Objective C) does not. Replacing 
"VoikkoHandle" with "struct VoikkoHandle" everywhere in voikko.h should fix 
this if you are in a hurry but I'll try to fix this in SVN soon.
