you didn't copy and paste the the compile command from the source and you 
typed the single quotes instead of the backticks; the makefile has the 
alternate syntax with $(...)
try:
make waitcall
or:
gcc -Wall -o waitcall waitcall.c $(pkg-config --libs gnokii)

copy it in a plain file, then chmod +x and execute it in a shell
it will run an infinite loop using the same default configuration used by 
gnokii; and will print lines such as
NUMBER: +391234567890
use CTRL-C to stop it

I think we could add some switches to waitcall: --answer --hangup --ignore
I did write a version that optionally wouldn't hangup. I need to search my 
backups.
