Strange, I installed C++....

And that's probably the cause of the warnings. It should have been
compiled with a C compiler, not a C++ compiler. Since I don't know C++,
I don't know if it has stdlib.h but, guessing from the errors, it
doesn't.

I compiled the file and the program works OK. It only gets confused by some
filenames that have "(" as a symbol for example.

Depending on how you pass the names on the command line, you may require
to either use single quotes - ' - around the name or, use a '\' in front
of any brackets - () {} [] - to stop the shell trying to process the
contents of them.

A questions that is probably dumb, but this is the very first compiling I
ever did:

-Can I delete the Folder from where I compiled or do I need to keep it if I
ever want to un-install the program?

In this case, since you used "make install" and that installs a single
executable, you can remove the folder. When you want to delete it, just
delete /usr/bin/lxsplit.
