I re-pasted it in, but still just an error. Here is the error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .te]
SELECT DISTINCT .term_id AS cat_id, name AS cat_name FROM INNER JOIN ON .term_id = .term_id AND .taxonomy = ‘link_category’

Here is what the plugin has now:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Categorical Links Page
Plugin URI: http://www.alucinari.net/wordpress
Description:  Output links seperated by categories onto a static page (Based on Links Page (http://www.asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks) by Owen Winkler.)
Version: 1.1
Author: Jeremy Albrecht
Author URI: http://www.alucinari.net/
*/
?>
<?php
/*

INSTRUCTIONS
------------
1. Upload this file into your wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Activate the Links Page with Categories plugin in your WordPress admin panel.
3. Create a new static page.
4. Add <!--catlinkspage--> to the static page content where you want the links
to appear.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Omarvelous. I guess I would need a more detailed info. I am concerned about messing up the “post templates by category” plugin. I have read the following documentation, but I still can’t figure it out, so maybe I’m just ignorant/retarded:
