void fun(const char *var[]);
const char **vname;

so the call goes as:- fun(vname);

But I get compile time error for this:-
invalid conversion from const char** to char**

I don't think we can solve this one without more information.

But OP could use the full information which was withheld to find the incorrect header or similar problem which leads to the complaint. This is a common problem with legacy code, which was not diagnosed by gcc until recently (at least not by default).
