charSetter is undefined for starters.

However, please define does not work. What EXACTLY are you trying to do?
Hint: it looks like you need to call stat() against an actual filename
Code:
#include <sys/stat.h>
char charSetter(char *filename)
{
     struct stat st;
     char retval='';
     if(stat(filename, &st ) == -1)
     {
             fprintf(stderr, "Cannot stat %s\n", filename);
             perror("");
             exit(1);
      }
      if (S_ISLNK(st.st_mode) )
          retval='l';
      return retval;
}

NAME
PAPI_is_initialized - check for initialization SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description @retval PAPI_NOT_INITED Library has not been initialized @retval PAPI_LOW_LEVEL_INITED Low level has called library init @retval PAPI_HIGH_LEVEL_INITED High level has called library init @retval PAPI_THREAD_LEVEL_INITED Threads have been inited @param version upon initialization, PAPI checks the argument against the internal value of PAPI_VER_CURRENT when the library was compiled. This guards against portability problems when updating the PAPI shared libraries on your system. @par Examples: int retval; retval = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT); if (retval != PAPI_VER_CURRENT && retval > 0) { fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch! "); exit(1); } if (retval < 0) handle_error(retval); retval = PAPI_is_initialized(); if (retval != PAPI_LOW_LEVEL_INITED) handle_error(retval); * PAPI_is_initialized() returns the status of the PAPI library. The PAPI library can be in one of four states, as described under RETURN VALUES. See Also: PAPI PAPI_thread_init Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for PAPI from the source code.
