pthreads confusion

I'm trying to create a thread (actually more than one, but just start with
one for now) that runs a method in another object.  I should this this would
be relatively straightforward.  I've worked up a code example to illustrate
the problem (though I get two different reactions [both noted in the code
snippet below] from the compiler [same call to pthread_create] when I compile
this vs my real program).

Here's hoping there's a simple explanation and resolution.

Compiled using: g++ -o tst main.cpp

Contents of main.cpp:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class MyClass
{
public:
    void* Run(void* parm)
    {
        char *p = (char *)parm;
        cout << p;
    }
};

class MyControlClass
{
public:
    MyClass*    object;
    pthread_t   tid;
};

void MakeThread(MyControlClass* myCC)
{
    myCC->object = new MyClass;

    // This line throws:
    //  error: argument of type ‘void* (MyClass::)(void*)’ does not match
‘void* (*)(void*)’))))
    pthread_create(&(myCC->tid), NULL, myCC->object->Run, (void*)myCC);

    // Another prog throws (same call as above):
    // error: ‘void*’ is not a pointer-to-object type
    //
    // In that case, the class defs are in separate code files and
MyControlClass is a template
    // class.
}

int main ()
{
    MyControlClass ctlClass;
    MakeThread(&ctlClass);
    return 0;
}
