[CODE] Questions about Races..

Geez.. seems like everyone is asking questions about races now.. so, I
figured I'd toss
mine in as well.. :>

Recently, someone [can't remember who] attached race.doc to a post on this
list.  Anyway, I looked it over and decided it looked easy enough to
implement, so I tried.  And that brings me to my question/problem.  I'm
wondering if anyone can tell me what is wrong here.. first, here's the
output I get from the compiler:

gcc -c -g -O -Wall -fno-strict-prototypes  comm.c
In file included from comm.c:29:
utils.h:426: parse error before `->'
make[1]: *** [comm.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dormammu/circle30bpl11/src'
make: *** [default] Error 2

Seems straight forward enough.. but, here's the section of the code [with a
little extra] that the program is complaining about:

#define CLASS_ABBR(ch) (IS_NPC(ch) ? "--" : class_abbrevs[(int)GET_CLASS(ch)])

#define IS_MAGIC_USER(ch)       (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_MAGIC_USER))
#define IS_CLERIC(ch)           (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_CLERIC))
#define IS_THIEF(ch)            (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_THIEF))
#define IS_WARRIOR(ch)          (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_WARRIOR))
#define IS_BARD(ch)             (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_BARD))
#define IS_NINJA(ch)            (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_CLASS(ch) == CLASS_NINJA))

#define IS_HUMAN(ch)            (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
426:                                (GET_RACE(ch) == RACE_HUMAN))
#define IS_ELF(ch)              (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_RACE(ch) == RACE_ELF))                    
#define IS_GNOME(ch)            (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_RACE(ch) == RACE_GNOME))                  
#define IS_FAIRY(ch)            (!IS_NPC(ch) && \
                                (GET_RACE(ch) == RACE_FAIRY))


#define OUTSIDE(ch) (!ROOM_FLAGGED((ch)->in_room, ROOM_INDOORS))

That's the section of the code.. obviously, the 426:  is not in the code.. I
just put it there so you'd know which line 426 is.  [I've always assumed
that when the compiler gave
an error message like it did above, it meant that line 426 was the one with
the problem.  Someone tell me if I'm wrong about that :> ]  Anyway, the one
other time I got an error like that in that section of the code, I'd
forgotten the (ch) .. but, obviously, they're all there this time, so I have
no idea what's wrong.  You also will notice two new classes
I put in, but I got them working 100% before I tried to add the races.  If
anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.  Just lemme know if you need to
see more code.. :>  [I figure
this is probably something relatively simple that I'm just not seeing for
some reason.]

Also, it's probably worth mentioning that I'm using 3.0 pl11   :>
