Yes, you will almost certainly have to link with the library files for Tokyo Cabinate (whatever that is).

Typically, you would use a command like:

gcc -o tcadbex -L/usr/lib -lxyz tcadbex.c

where:

• -L specifies search paths for libraries.
• -l lists libraries to search for undefined symbols.

and the linker will go looking for the libraries, following certain rules for turning xyz into a file name like libxyz.so.

In fact, a search of the net turns up this (on one line, I'm just splitting it for readability):

gcc -I/usr/local/include tc_example.c -o tc_example
    -L/usr/local/lib -ltokyocabinet -lz -lbz2 -lrt -lpthread -lm -lc

as the command line to use.

so I would suggest that you need for your specific case (again, on one line):

gcc -I/usr/local/include tcadbex.c -o tcadbex
    -L/usr/local/lib -ltokyocabinet -lz -lbz2 -lrt -lpthread -lm -lc
