C Problems on Ubuntu

[Roman]

Hey everyone.

I'm beginning to feel out C for this term's CS course. I'm using Ubuntu, installed on a virtual machine on my laptop. I wrote a simple hello world program and attempted to compile it. What I got was an error message saying that the stdio.h file could not be found. I looked around in the gcc folder and could not find it myself, either. I took the code to a Mac computer at school and it worked fine. Is something wrong with my compiler? Or did I do something improperly? The code is

code:

#include <stdio.h> int main(void) {     printf("Hello world! \n");     return 0; }

I'm confident there's nothing wrong in the program, and can't figure out what happened to the stdio file or where I can get another one.

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed the build-essential package? Give that a whirl if the answer is no.

Do I need to download it, or is there a command to install it? (there were commands for vim-related things, which is why I ask) I have no recollection of installing it, so the answer is probably no. Will do...

Since your using Ubuntu, open terminal and type this:

code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thanks a lot! Everything works now =]
