I have come for more wisdom, Monks!
I had posted a question about calling C programs using Inline. I had a response that you do not call programs, rather libraries. So I have come up with this example but I can't seem to execute it. These are my codes:
#include <stdio.h>

/* define external functions */
extern void football();
extern void ok();
extern void big12();

int main()
{
    printf("Inside main()\n");

    /* use a function from each object file that is in the library */
    football();
    ok();
    big12();

    return 0;
}

The code above is a C program that uses a library, libgin.a. The library has three other one-line print statement programs tied to it. Here's my code for the Inline process: 
#!/usr/local/perl/5.6.1.4/bin/perl -w

use ConsistentSet "1.0.2";  # This finds the library Inline

use Inline C => DATA =>
                LIBS => '-lgin';

first();

__END__
__C__

#include <stdio.h>
#include "main.c"

int first()
{
    printf("Inside main()\n");

    /* use a function from each object file that is in the library */
    football();
    ok();
    big12();

    return 0;
}

What I have done is instead of calling main.c from my Inline code, I just rewrote the C code to call the functions in the library. I keep getting this error: 
Inside main()
ld.so.1: /usr/local/perl/5.6.1.4/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: fi
+le /SIMPLE/_Inline/lib/auto/first_pl_d0aa/first_pl_d0aa.so: symbol fo
+otball: referenced symbol not found

I need some desperate help!!!
