I don't know what's going on on your system, but your program works fine.
My test of your test:
[apj@wattsx apj]$ gcc -o test test.c
[apj@wattsx apj]$ ll
-rwxrwxr-x 1 apj apj 11369 Nov 5 22:24 test
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apj apj 107 Nov 5 22:24 test.c
[apj@wattsx apj]$ ./test
By Jove, it works!
Check your compiler/include file install/path.
Usually the first error is the important one. The rest are a cascade effect of the first. Fix the first and the rest go away.
I studied K&R in 1983. It's a good place to start.

Just to test gcc, I tried to compile this:<snip *whole* buncha errors>
***test.c***
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("By Jove, it works!\n");
return 0;
}
*** end file ***
with this:
gcc -o test test.c
And it didn't work.
I got this:
Well, it worked fine...until, trying to reproduce your problem, I did something that was *wrong*.
Please go out and get a C programming book (I prefer K&R, the "bible", but that's me).
In any programming language, *everything* that you write is translated by the compiler into machine language instructions, *except* for comments.
Comments are *required* to be indicated in the syntactically-defined manner to the compiler, otherwise, it don't know it's a comment.
So, please either delete the lines with '*', or else define them to the complier *as* comments, by:
/* ***blah, blah ***** */
^beginning and ^^ end of C-style comment (note that it can continue for multiple lines, until it sees the closing */
or
// ***** blah, blah *********
^^ C++ style comment, goes to end of line.
