Hi, sailend. Can you post the contents of your .c file please?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thanks StrAlan for your quick reply.

Actually my c file is very simple one like to "print hello world". My intention is to see gcc is working on ubuntu 8.04 or not.

ex- #include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World"); return 0;
}

The problem is: I think the setting of path or something like this becuse gcc is unable to detect header file <stdio.h> and also all other header file.

so please let me know how i set this path or should i install the new gcc. if so please tell me the way to proceed.

Thanks you again in advance...
