I notice the function is ...

function [L.L, L.d, L.skip, L.add] = blkchol(L,X,pars,absd)
error('Build the SeDuMi binaries by typing make at the command prompt.');

Assuming that "L" is a structure, the you can just ...

function [L, d, skip, add] = blkchol (L, X, pars, absd)
add = L.add;
skip = L.skip;
d = L.d;
L = L.L;
error('Build the SeDuMi binaries by typing make at the command prompt.');

That will eliminate the parser error (a bug?) ... however, you'll still 
encounter an error. To avoid that you need to mex blkchol.c
