You will need to import the authority files as MARC records before you run perl script link_bibs_to_authorities.pl (default - /usr/share/koha/bin/).
There are ways to create authority records from new catalogue records as you create them.. I don't think it is possible to derive them from your existing records already in Koha as a batch process. Doing it manually (one record at a time) would be slow and painful if you have a lot of records.
