problem programming in c in eclipse under Ubuntu

[nir2000]

Hi everybody!
I have just started using Eclipse for programming in c, after using it for Java.
Unfortunately with no help. When I try to compile a simple program, after I installed the environment for c\c++ , I get the message "Launch failed. Binary not found" whenever I try to compile a simple program.
Please if somebody knows the solution to this problem let me know.
Thank in advance
Nir

Here's an old thread that answers your question. Coincidentally it was resurrected yesterday. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=983597

it did not help.
sorry

Does the source compile and run from the command line or using another IDE like Geany?

Maybe you should install the whole build-essential package. Try

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Sorry for the trouble, I should have simply chosen "Executable project" in the project opened up window. And that solved the problem.
