The changed signal on GtkEditable is like this
void enter_callback (GtkEditable *editable,
                                    gpointer user_data);

User_data is whatever you specified as the last argument to
gtk_signal_connect.

your function should be
void enter_callback (GtkEditable *editable,
                                gpointer user_data)
{
    gchar *entry_text;
    entry_text = gtk_entry_get_text (GTK_ENTRY (editable));
    printf("Entry contents: %s\n", entry_text);
}
