The `error()` function is defined nowhere in this codebase. When linking against glibc, the declaration will match the nonstandard [error(3)] function, but midicomp only ever passes a single `const char*` to this function, which doesn't match its 3+-parameter signature. Consequently, this code fails to link with any other libc, and doesn't correctly show the respective errors even *with* glibc. Using `prs_error()` fixes these issues, allows this code to be compiled with MinGW, and retains the line number in the now correct error output. [error(3)]: https://linux.die.net/man/3/error
