I am pretty sure that it is a setup/compiler issue. I went to here

http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/ftp-site/link-grammar/link-4.1a/

and downloaded the Windows version. It compiled and ran without a problem.
Several files in the download have a main() function, but I established that
the one being used was parse.c. I removed it from the project and replaced
it with the example file that is giving you trouble. It too compiled and ran
without a problem.

I don't use gcc, so I can only guess what the problem might be. Is
"undefined reference" a compiler or a linker error? The Windows version
requires about 30 source files found in the src subdirectory. You need to
make sure that they are being compiled and linked as well.
