Thanks - not a C++ guy what's wrong with it?

/build/ceph/src/compressor/zstd/ZstdCompressor.h: In member function
'virtual int ZstdCompressor::compress(const bufferlist&,
ceph::bufferlist&)':
/build/ceph/src/compressor/zstd/ZstdCompressor.h:48:28: error:
'ZSTD_resetCStream' was not declared in this scope
     ZSTD_resetCStream(cs, 0);
                            ^
/build/ceph/src/compressor/zstd/ZstdCompressor.h: In member function
'virtual int ZstdCompressor::decompress(ceph::buffer::list::iterator&,
size_t, ceph::bufferlist&)':
/build/ceph/src/compressor/zstd/ZstdCompressor.h:89:28: error:
'ZSTD_resetDStream' was not declared in this scope
     ZSTD_resetDStream(ds, 0);


zstd.h which is included has the function:

src/zstd/lib/zstd.h:ZSTDLIB_API size_t ZSTD_resetCStream(ZSTD_CStream*
zcs, unsigned long long pledgedSrcSize);  /**< re-use compression
parameters from previous init; skip dictionary loading stage; zcs must
be init at least once before */
