Hi, does anyone knows where I can find a good and simple implementation 
of erf(x) for C or C++?, because I need to convert it to Verilog A....

Hi

you should consider implementing an approximation of the function via 
polynomial evaluation. This involves the computation of 
fixed-/floating-point coefficients for the polynomial either the Taylor 
or the Remez (minimax) way.

One good source for approximations of transcendental functions is
