That's a bit hard because you have to skip right to that line, and lseek() and friends can't precisely seek to line X. We'd have to use a lot of code to figure out how long each line is, and go to that exact line. But I think this code would maybe work for making the error:

void semicolon_error
(unsigned long line)
{
        unsigned long c_cnt, l_cnt;
        for (c_cnt = 0, l_cnt = 0; l_cnt = line; )
          {
                   while (getchar() != '\n')
                           c_cnt++;
                   l_cnt++
          }
        char c;
        while ((c = (char) getchar()) != '\n');
        printf("%lu: missing semicolon at end of line\n", line);
        printf("%lu: %c\n", line, c);
}

But wouldn't it be easier just to go back to the original idea that I had of saying "XX: no semicolon at end of line"?
