The problem here is likely to be that either you've mistyped the
'main' in the function definition, i.e. int mian(void) or something,
or you've forgotten to link in the object file which contains this
function.

Check your link command (something like 'gcc -o <outfile> <object1>.o
<object2>.o ...') contains the object filename for the c file
containing the main function. If it's already there, check that the c
file really does contain the correct definition of main().
