Yes - compile_link is correct.

Type "./compile_link --help" to get a list of options.
You need to build with the correct socket file (UNIX mode)
or the correct host/port (INET mode).  Without these being
correct, you'll get the message you are seeing.

Also, if you have selected vlink (UNIX mode) then make sure
that the installed executable file is owned by the Interchange
userid (some people use "interch"), has execute permission
and has the set-uid bit set.  If the vlink cannot open/write
to the Interchange socket, you will get the message you are
seeing.

At least, by getting that message, you know that you are
able to execute cgi-bin files.

No.  You don't need to use that.
