ALIAS MOD in pl 11

I tried adding the alias mod found in the circle ftp sight but cannot get it to 
work.  Everything compiles up to alias.c at wich point I get the following error

	gcc -c -g -O -Wall -fno-strict-prototypes  alias.c
	In file included from alias.c:16:
	structs.h:876: parse error before `socket_t'
	structs.h:876: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
	structs.h:905: parse error before `}'
	make[1]: *** [alias.o] Error 1
	make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/circle30bpl11/src'
	make: *** [default] Error 2

I have examined the code and I cannot find any reason for the problem to be 
there.  below is the code referenced above.

line 16 of alias.c

#include "structs.h"

Lines 876 to 905 of structs.h

   struct descriptor_data *snoop_by; /* And who is snooping this char   */
   struct descriptor_data *next; /* link to next descriptor             */
};

I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
