The immediate problem is simply that link-includes.h can't be found.
Where is that file located ? I'm guessing it's part of "the Link Parser package" referred to in the Readme. And it looks like that package is a C library that you need to first compile and install before Lingua::LinkParser can be built.

Was there mention during the "perl Makefile.PL" stage of some libraries that could not be found ? (These would also probably be locatable once "the Link Parser package" has been installed. See the "Requirements" and "Installation" section of the above-mentioned Readme.)

You'll need to either run 'make clean' or start from a freshly unpacked source before trying again to build Lingu::LinkParser.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. You're right, Link-Grammar is a C library. I have installed it locally. I modified the include location in Makefile.PL as per your suggestion and the number of errors reduced significantly. I am not sure if this error has to do with link-grammar.
