Start with simpler language and simpler IDE.

Try Python and IDLE. See links in wiki in my sig. See sticky FAQ with discussion and poll what language is good for beginner, and why.

Well, if you don't understand how to compile the way directly, there is little chance you'll be able to figure out what an IDE does. First verify that everything works with an editor and the most trusted tool, the terminal. See the sticky on how to go step by step with C.

(I think you don't have what you need installed, as Eclipse doesn't install the C packages I think, but I don't use IDE's)

Can you compile and run C programs normally? Try a simple hello world to make sure the problem isn't on that end.

Then worry about the IDE.

If Eclipse is getting in the way, don't use it. Use an editor that you like.

See the sticky as I said ;)

I could give a simple example, but the sticky has a link to a good walkthrough, no use in reinventing the wheel here.

There is a sticky in the Forum Feedback and Help with a Guide to Forum Features.

Yes, I know, I know:

I attached a short video I made how to start something on eclipse with the cdt plguin, it may not help you, but someone will find it useful.

gtk-recordmydesktop is great by the way.

As everyone is so scared of downloading things:
-It's an OGG theora (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora), the open source media file format.
-Recorded with gtk-recordmydesktop. Available at synaptic.
-mediafire, I really trust that site.
