You forgot the semicolon after the closing brace.

It should either be
	struct element {
	    char *key;
	    int level;
	    struct element **fpointer;
	};
	struct element *head[LEVELCAP];     /* array of pointers to struct */
or 
	struct element {
	    char *key;
	    int level;
	    struct element **fpointer;
	} *head[LEVELCAP];     /* array of pointers to struct */

The original parses as "struct element struct element *head[LEVELCAP];",
which I think you'll agree is a bit hard on a non-AI parser.
