I used gcc to compile my c program.However it gives an error of not including <stdio.h> and other library files.Please guide me.

What exactly is the error? Did you include stdio?

umeshpandey007 · 08-29-2005, 01:19 AM

yes i included <stdio.h> and <conio.h> in my c program.I used this statement in the program

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

error:stdio.h:No such file or directory

Interesting, what if you add the "-I /usr/include" option to gcc?

I want to know how to include the c library files in my c program and sucessfully run it.
I had included in my c program as #include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
.I edited my file in vi editor.I would like to know how linux can recognise my c library functions.I am using fedora core 3.Is it that some packages I have not installed.

Try "gcc -I /usr/include -o outfile yourfile"

If that doesn't work, search your system for the file "stdio.h"

conio.h is typically NOT used in linux/*nix

In fact, conio.h is the interface to a DOS console library -- not ANSI C or POSIX at all. Look into ncurses if you're looking for similar functionality on *nix.
