Exactly, when i am trying to compile the famous Hello World program that i have named hw.c i take the message:

hw.c:1:19: error stdio.h: No such file or directory
hw.c:In function 'main':
hw.c:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf'

the program is correct, i can tell it for sure

You must open a terminal
Then in the terminal you type the following command:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

It will ask for your system password, provide it.

After that, type the program and try to compile it.

If it doesn't work, please past program code.

Or try this one:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
        printf("Hello World\n");
        return 0;
}
