You can grab the code I'm trying build directly from here:

I'm running

make test

I'm on a Ubuntu 12.04 box, I've installed all the available libbsd packages available from universe.

I'm just sorta stumped at the moment, total C noob, wondering if someone could lend a hand.

This is a link error:

core.c.text+0xb1): undefined reference to `fgetln'

It seems that fgetln is included in <stdio.h> for various flavours of BSD, and since you claim that you "installed all the available libbsd packages available from universe", I am inclined to think that you may need to check if you need to do something besides just installing, e.g., pass an option to the compiler.

For the other link errors: search the source code for where those functions are defined, then check why they were not being linked. If those functions are not defined anywhere, then you may be missing some library to install.

Ah, I see. I'm guessing I have to pass in the -lbsd flag somewhere. I had been attempting to just add include statements to the files above, but perhaps the exclusion of the of flag pointing to my libbsd libs is why the fgetln error persists.
