If you need a simple example, you can use the following from
http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/1902/4118/

1) Save the following as gloss.tex
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[plainpages=false,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{dog}{name=dog,
description={An animal, usually cute},
plural={dogs}}
\begin{document}
\printglossaries
\Gls{dog}
\GLS{dog}
\glspl{dog}
\Glspl{dog}
\GLSpl{dog}
\glslink{dog}{some text}
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
2) save the following as runmkindex.bat (I guess you use Windows,
otherwise as .sh or whatever your OS needs)
makeindex -s gloss.ist -t gloss.glg -o gloss.gls gloss.glo
3) run LaTeX on the file, maybe twice
4) call the runmkindex.bat, check the output
5) re-run LaTeX (resp. pdflatex) on the TeX file again.
6) Done.
