This means that is cannot find and include the file that defines the STanDard Input/Output functions. This is the most common include file in C and if it is not on your system something is wrong with your installation. The file should be found in the "/usr/include" directory but you shouldn't have to mention this to the compiler since this is the standard include directory.

Try re-installing the build environment, using synaptic anything found under "development".

Rashid: make sure you install the 'build-essential' package. sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thanks Gord, I agree with that. I just didn't know if stdio.h was in that package.
