What have I failed to do in installing gcc on Debian.
Most recent version (4.0rev1 "etch")

My anal1.c file is as follows.

struct struct1 {
char nam[5];
char code[2];
unsigned long int date;
double open;
double high;
double low;
double close;
unsigned long int volume;};
struct1 struct2[750];


FILE *file = fopen("amex1.txt", "r");
if ( file != NULL )
{
char line [ 80 ];
size_t count, i = 0;
while ( i < 750 )
{
if ( fgets(line, sizeof line, file) == NULL )
{
break;
}
if ( sscanf(line, "%s,%s,%u,%d,%d,%d,%d,%u.%lf", struct1[i].nam, struct1[i].code,
struct1[i].date, struct1[i].open, struct1[i].high,
struct1[i].low, struct1[i].close, struct1[i].volume ) == 8 )
{
++i;
}
}
fclose(file);
for ( count = i, i = 0; i < count; ++i )
{
printf("struct1[%i]: nam = %s, code= %s, date = %u, open = %d, high = %d,low= %d, close= %d, volume = %u\n",
i, struct1[i].nam, struct1[i].code, struct1[i].date,
struct1[i].open, struct1[i].high, struct1[i].low, struct1[i].close, struct1[i].volume);
}
}
else
{
perror("amex1.txt");
}
return 0;
}

The folffowing output makes no sense

eric@debian:~/data$ gcc anal1.c

anal1.c:18: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

Hey,

Your code has lots of bugs.

Its not GCCs issue...

1) Your main fuction missing ??
2) struct structa { int x;...; };
struct structa structb; //This is the proper way of creating variables
3) you have used structa.x=3; which is wrong, use the variable, not the user defined data type.

Thats all

Thanks nirvana40l, you are right, my post did have many errors and they were not due to a gcc setup problem. For more information go to http://mysite.verizon.net/mvnetn/linux.
