blkid.h typedefs as follows:

typedef struct blkid_struct_dev *blkid_dev;

That is the only appearance of the token blkid_struct_dev in blkid.h. 

grep -rl blkid_struct_dev /usr/include

returns only /usr/include/blkid/blkid.h. So I'm assuming the struct is defined somewhere in a -dev package I don't have installed (except it doesn't appear anywhere else on my Slackware box, either, and Slackware includes all the headers with its packages).

Where is this struct defined?

I ran into the same problem on my Ubuntu PC and could only find the declaration of the structure. As it turns out, the definition is in a file blkidP.h in the util-linux source. Since only the declarations in blkid.h are needed in order to compile programs using the library, blkidP.h isn't needed. It's only needed to compile the library.
