I'm having trouble figuring out the problem with my load function. here's the weird error I get (I've never seen something like it):

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [dictionary] Error 1
The thing is I have no idea whether or not I should compile dictionary.c in the first place on its own. The pset specs said that I could just use make speller but again, with Makefile that is also mentioned, I'm not sure what is going wrong.
What about the library part of makefile (i.e., LIBS =), should I put the library declarations in it or in dictionary.c?
I'm confused to the source of this error and I have a feeling it's not from buggy code as much as me not understanding how to use dictionary.c/speller.c/makefile together.
Also, at the end of this error code, it says
undefined reference to main
so that's also a clue.
P.S: I executed make speller and it gave no errors at all.
Thanks for all your help!
#includes at top indicate that.
