Answer 1

You maybe missing cd_tags.tdl in the WEB-INF/lib folder and the tag declaration, <%@ taglib uri="cd_tags" prefix="tridion" %>, at the top of the JSP page?

Answer 2

This kind of behaviour can be due to the following things:

1. You missed the page tag declaration element and/or the TDL config (as pointed out by Chris)

2. Your unresolved link is on a Dynamic Component Presentation, and this DCP being retrieved via the Broker API using the ComponentPresentationFactory, not the ComponentPresentationAssembler;

3. your CT is Dynamic and Output Type is set to HTML.

4. your CT is Dynamic and Output Type is set to Java (or Jscripting), but your DCPs are configured to go into the Database instead of filesystem in cd_storage_conf.xml (use REL as the Output Type in this case).
