Turbo C is a proprietary licenced DOS program. It is not included in ubuntu. However, ubuntu has it's own C and you can download other open source C compilers.

If a command line C compiler is sufficient ,issue the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
to get gcc, Ubuntu's standard command line C compiler. See http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/index.html for instructions on how to use it.

However, from the 5 minutes of web searching I did, I gather that Turbo C is what's known as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which means that it combines a compiler with a text editor and debugger.

One popular open source IDE is Eclipse (although there are many others). To install it, run:
sudo apt-get install eclipse
Afterwards, try watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwo_sDibO3g for an introduction to writing C in Eclipse (caveat: since I don't actually use Eclipse, I can't attest to how good that video actually is).

Can you help with this problem?
