Probably.
The syntax above is not in c89 ("ansi c"), but it's part of c99.
If you have a C99 compiler available, try using that.

You can test this with gcc, too:

 	miyu% gcc -pedantic -std=c89 s.c -o s
 	s.c: In function 'main':
 	s.c:11: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize
 	s.c:12: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize
 	s.c:13: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize
 	miyu% gcc -pedantic -std=c99 s.c -o s
 	miyu%
