OK, first thing to check: the gopher 3.0.0 client had a bug wherin if
you specified a hostname on the command line, it would load it up
incorrectly.
You can workaround it like this:
gopher -p / localhost
Or you can upgrade to 3.0.1.
Do you actually get a menu? If so, move the cursor over a link and
press the = key. Let us know what it says.
Guidance may be found in the gopherd manpage for how to create links
and stuff.

There is a log -- when you start up gopherd, it should tell you about
that. You can use the -l parameter to gopherd to configure it.
However, it will probably not help you in this case.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
