This symbol and most of the others come from liburweb.so.  I don't know 
why GCC isn't seeing that library, but my first guess (since you said 
it's your school's server) is you either didn't run 'make install' 
(perhaps because you noticed your user doesn't have permission to 
install to standard directories) or you did run 'make install' but 
haven't set your $LDPATH properly so that GCC knows where to find the 
Ur/Web shared libraries.

Further details are really beyond the scope of this list.  However, you 
shouldn't need to install Ur/Web on the _server_ you run applications 
on, as long as you develop locally on a machine with the same operating 
system and standard libraries.  You can compile with the '-static' flag 
to package everything into a standalone executable, ready to upload.
