Do you mean you *just* did 'gcc -o example2 example2.c' ?  That wouldn't 
work as you don't provide the redland library and it's dependent 
libraries.  There is a make target for each example so you can use:
   make example2
however it's easiest to just build them all with:
   make examples

or if you want to do it all by hand you can use:
   gcc -o example2 example2.c `redland-config --cflags` `redland-config 
--libs`

Otherwise can you paste the full link line and the complete list of 
link/compile errors.  Is -lrdf in the link line?  Are you installing 
redland into a library directory that's found by the linker?  (see man 
ld.so on linux if it's linux).  What system are you running it on?
