gcc unable to locate header files

Hi,

It is not clear from your question whether you try to compile an existing (working) C program, or a program you made by yourself. In case you wrote it, are you sure you have enclose stdio.h with <>? The correct syntax is

#include <stdio.h>

and NOT
#include "stdio.h"

Hi,
  I used #include <stdio.h>.. Still not working.. I guess it is a installation packages missing.. My linux system is a VMware player operating ubuntuDesktop804., Is this distribution contains all the standard package for c/c++ development?.

Thanks

Hi,

I am afraid you did not answer the main question: are your trying to compile a program that works for sure?

First, make sure that you have gcc (I don't think gcc comes with the standard install). Open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gcc'. Once it is installed, you can check its version with gcc --version.

Then, try to compile a program that is correct:

1) Open a terminal
2) type 'gedit test.c'
3 Copy and paste this example program
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("Hello World!\n");
  return 0;
}
4) Save
5) Close gedit
6) Type 'gcc -c test.c'

I have just checked, and it works on my computer.

Hope it helps!

Hi,
  Thanks Arnaudus for looking in to my problem.. I solved this by installing "libc-dev" and "libc6" packages.. by default it didn't get installed..

Thanks

Amaudus I tried that program also im not sure if it worked if it did it went to fast in the terminal any way to slow that down like Delay(140); or something like that in proper <header>

Thanks

I have the same problem. But the Ubuntu package manager says libc6, libc6-dev, libc6-dev-armel-cross, libc6-armel-cross, are all installed. Any further ideas?
