Hello,

Please tell something about your environment, like uname -a, Linux 
distribution, compiler version etc.

After a quick look at the sources there seems to be a bug in 
include/utils.h. There's a declaration for getline() function, but the 
function is not defined anywhere in the source files. Try to delete the 
line in include/utils.h:

int getline(int fd, char *line, size_t maxlen);
