Try also this. Put the following in a file called "hello.c":
-------- cut ---------
#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
printf("Yow!\n");
exit(0)
}
-------- cut ---------
then try:
gcc -v -o hello hello.c
You should see something like the following. If you don't,
your C compiler has an installation problem. Look for
"can't open file" and thinks like that.
When you install a Linux system on which you plan to compile programs,
you need to include at least some of the optional packages intended
to support program development. From what you say, it is likely that
you missed these.
