Undefined reference to yyparse (flex & bison)

I'm attempting to learn some flex/bison, and I'm reading Flex & Bison by John Levine (O'Reilly). There is an example that I need to get running, however I can't get it to run as I get the following error:

/tmp/ccKZcRYB.o: In function `yylex':
fb3-1.lex.c:(.text+0x2bd): undefined reference to `yylval'
/tmp/cclBqnOk.o: In function `main':
fb3-1funcs.c:(.text+0x420): undefined reference to `yyparse'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've got four source files:

fb3-1.h:

/*
 * Declarations for calculator  fb3-1
 */

/* Interface to the lexer */
extern int yylineno; /* from lexer */
void yyerror(char *s, ...);

/* nodes in the abstract syntax tree */
struct ast {
    int nodetype;
    struct ast *l;
    struct ast *r;
};

struct numval {
    int nodetype;   /* type K for constant */
    double number;
};

/* build an AST */
struct ast *newast(int nodetype, struct ast *l, struct ast *r);
struct ast *newnum(double d);

/* evaluate an AST */
double eval(struct ast *);

/* delete and free an AST */
void treefree(struct ast *);

fb3-1.l

/* recognise tokens for the calculator */
%option noyywrap nodefault yylineno
%{
#include "fb3-1.h"
#include "fb3-1.tab.h"
%}

/* float exponent */
EXP     ([Ee][-+]?[0-9]+)

\n      { return EOL; }

  ;

    fprintf(stderr, "\n");

int main ()
{
    printf("> ");
    return yyparse();
}

To Build:

bison -d fb3-1.y
flex -ofb3-1.lex.c fb3-1.l
cc -o $@ fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 x64, with the packages 'flex' and 'bison' installed. Anyone know why this error is happening, and how to fix it? Thanks in advance :)

Solved it, the command

cc -o $@ fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c

Should be

cc -o fb3 fb3-1.tab.c fb3-1.lex.c fb3-1funcs.c

Not sure why the book didn't specify that for the example.
