There is no "fix" for the function itself i believe since no one talked
about having to modify it. People reported having problems writing
prototypes for it as far as I have seen. To make sure this is the body of
the function
struct char_data *is_playing(char *vict_name)
{
extern struct descriptor_data *descriptor_list;
struct descriptor_data *i, *next_i;
for (i = descriptor_list; i; i = next_i) {
next_i = i->next;
if(i->connected == CON_PLAYING && !strcmp(i->character->player.name,CAP(vict_name)))
return i->character;
}
return NULL;
}

I like to put it in utils.c because I use it a lot but if you only use it
in the clan code the best thing to do is to put it in clan.c before any
other function that calls it.

You don't need to put extern in a function prototype, but you need to
specify the type of the arguments:
struct char_data *is_playing(struct char_data * ch);
is how I have it

As I said when I sent the code, the clan description doesn't work. so just
comment out or remove the command part, the compilation is just warning
you so you can also leave it be, it won't crash, but the dscription you
enter will just not take effect.
