There are instructions at the beginning of mpfit.pro. They say how the
function voightfit (or myfunct, as it is called there) should be
defined. It should have a single non-keyword parameter only, the
parameter list P. All other parameters must be keyword parameters,
corresponding to the parameter list in functargs.

So you need something like

FUNCTION voigtfit,p,x=x,y=y,er=er

The reason you get a "keyword parameter not allowed in call" is that
mpfit tries to call voigtfit with the keyword parameters you specified
by defining fac the way you did and giving it to mpfit through the
functargs keyword.
