Question about error when running example code

[silverwolfman]

I am new to raspberry Pi
Trying to program with C on raspberry and I followed the instruction
http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/index.html
to download the Broadcom library
but Error message popup when i was trying to run the blink sample program
#include <bcm2835.h>
#include <stdio.h>

// Blinks on RPi Plug P1 pin 11 (which is GPIO pin 17)
#define PIN RPI_GPIO_P1_11

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
// If you call this, it will not actually access the GPIO
// Use for testing
// bcm2835_set_debug(1);

if (!bcm2835_init())
return 1;

// Set the pin to be an output
bcm2835_gpio_fsel(PIN, BCM2835_GPIO_FSEL_OUTP);

// Blink
while (1)
{
// Turn it on
bcm2835_gpio_write(PIN, HIGH);

// wait a bit
bcm2835_delay(500);

// turn it off
bcm2835_gpio_write(PIN, LOW);

// wait a bit
bcm2835_delay(500);
}
bcm2835_close();
return 0;
}

Error Message:
gcc -Wall -o "blink" "blink.c" (in directory: /home/pi/bcm2835-1.50/examples/blink)

Can anyone explain a little bit what is not properly configured?
Thx.

Please try to link the object code with proper library.

Please try to link the object code with proper library.

Which means add "-lbcm2835" to your compiler command line.
