How can I call C functions with D function pointers as operands?

I tried this:
	// gl2psUserWritePNG & gl2psUserFlushPNG are static
	void function(png_struct*, ubyte*, uint) gl2psUserWritePNG_ptr
= &gl2psUserWritePNG;
	void function(png_struct*)
gl2psUserFlushPNG_ptr = &gl2psUserFlushPNG;

	png_set_write_fn(
		png_ptr,
		cast(void*)png,
		gl2psUserFlushPNG_ptr,
		gl2psUserFlushPNG_ptr
	);

but there are some errors:
 Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (gl2psUserWritePNG_ptr)
of type void function(png_struct*, ubyte*, uint) to voidC  function
(png_struct*, ubyte*, uint)

 Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (gl2psUserFlushPNG_ptr)
of type void function(png_struct*) to voidC  function(png_struct*)

You have to declare your callback functions as extern(C), like so:

extern(C) void gl2psUserFlushPNG(png_struct* s)
{
...
}

Same with the other one.
