It's very difficult to figure out exactly what is going on without a little
more context; what's at line 30 of skaNLP.h and immediately before it?
(`MR_Word' is supposed to be defined in "mercury_types.h",
which is included by "mercury_imp.h".)

This occurs because you are trying to compile the C files
that the Mercury compiler generates with g++, which is a C++
compiler, not a C compiler, and C++ isn't compatible with C.

(Even if you got it to compile, you'd probably get link errors,
because g++ generates object files with mangled function names...)

Try deleting the definitions of MGNUC and ML from your Mmakefile.
