bcopy works like bcopy(source, dest, length);
memcpy works like memcpy(dest, source, length);
So you have to swap the first two. Otherwise they're equivalent. I considered replacing that for you but decided I shouldn't mess with the original code too much. Sorry.
"invalid void first parameter" is a new one on me. functions like memcpy and bcopy usually take void * so you can feed them any kind of pointer without the compiler whining. I suspect something else is wrong, maybe it doesn't like how I'm using the structure members. Can you print the exact line you have and the exact error you get?
[edit] It's string.h, not strings.h. That might do it.

BCOPY(3) Linux Programmer's Manual BCOPY(3)
NAME
bcopy - copy byte sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>
void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The bcopy() function copies n bytes from src to dest. The result is correct, even when both areas overlap.
RETURN VALUE
None.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD. This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs. Note that the first
two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3). POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of bcopy().
SEE ALSO
memccpy(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3), strncpy(3)
