I am a newbe and need some advice. During one of my Open SCAD endevors I wanted the creat a gear. I found a tutorial that I thought would lead me to sucess. However, the code that I put in - dxf_linesr_extrude(file="gear.dxf",height=3,convexity=100); - doesn't produce anything but a Parsing error, "Compilation Failed." Arg! . The dxf was done in AutoCAD.

Try:

linear_extrude(height=3,convexity=100)
   import("gear.dxf");

If you want to skip the autocad step you can generate gears directly in openscad using my parametric script. [www.thingiverse.com]
