[I wonder how you thought you'ld learn RHIDE from a tutorial dealing
with Makefiles... it's the opposite of using Makefiles, essentially.]

Anyway, your examples contains two minor faults, and a fatal usage
error of RHIDE:

Don't name your functions like ones already defined in the Standard C
Library, if you can help it.

main() *has* to return an int. Everything else is an error.

You've added the file 'util.o' to the RHIDE project file list. That's
your actual error. Only the .c files should go there.
