I`m getting the following error in my code(line 65):

error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘*’ token
namespace SocketSpace {
  class Error {
  public:
    Error(const std::string& msg = 0) throw();
    const char* what() throw();
    ~Error() throw();
  private:
    std::string message_m;
  };

  class Socket {
  public:
    void setPort(unsigned short port) throw(Error);
    std::string showUser() throw(Error);
    std::string showForeignUser() throw(Error);
  protected:
    int desc_m;
    Socket(int newID) throw(Error);
    Socket(int type, int protocol) throw(Error);
  private:
    Socket(const Socket&);
    Socket& operator = (const Socket&);
  };

  class ComSocket: public Socket {
  public:
    void connect(const std::string& adress, unsigned short port) throw(Error);
    void send(std::string& buffer) throw(Error);
    int recv(std::string& buffer) throw(Error);
  protected:
    ComSocket(int type, int protocol) throw(Error);
    ComSocket(int newID) throw(Error);
  };

  class TCPSocket: public ComSocket{
  public:
    TCPSocket() throw(Error);
    TCPSocket(const std::string& adress, unsigned short port) throw(Error);
  private:
    friend class ServerSocket;
    TCPSocket(int newID) throw(Error);
  };

  class ServerSocket: public Socket {
  public:
    ServerSocket(unsigned short port) throw(Error);
    TCPSocket* accept() throw(Error);
  private:
    void setListen(int n) throw(Error);
  };
}

.........................................................................................
SocketSpace::Socket::Socket(int newID) throw(Error)
{
  this->desc_m = newID;
}
........................................................................................
SocketSpace::ComSocket::ComSocket(int newID) throw(Error): Socket(newID) {}

.......................................................................................
SocketSpace::TCPSocket::TCPSocket(int newID) throw(Error): ComSocket(newID) {}

.......................................................................................
TCPSocket* SocketSpace::ServerSocket::accept() throw(Error)
{
  int ret = 0;
  if((ret = ::accept(desc_m, 0, 0)) < 0)
  {
      throw("Error accepting socket");
  }
  return new TCPSocket(ret);
}

Any help ?

Try

SocketSpace::TCPSocket* SocketSpace::ServerSocket::accept()

That works, thank you very much,gerard4143
