Unless there is money attached? I'll respond urgently for cold hard cash

Seriously though, can you execute these commands from the shell (in the directory where your file is) and paste the results. Please do not quote them in part - paste the whole output:
Code:
ls -l filename.c
which gcc
gcc --version
Finally, if it is not too long, please insert the contents of the filename.c file.

Please enclose all these things in [code] tags to aid readability.

conio.h does not exist under linux in any widely acknowledged state. you need to use suitable equivalents, e.g. the ncurses library for some of that functionality

For scanf, you have to include stdio.h

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, char * argv[])
{
int i;

    printf("Enter a number: ");
    scanf("%d",&i);
    printf("You entered: %d\n",i);

    return 0;
}
Compile with gcc -Wall myfile.c -o myfile and run with ./myfile.

Code:
wim@desktop1:~$ ./myfile
Enter a number: 55
You entered: 55
wim@desktop1:~$
If the compiler complains about stdio.h, your configuration is broken in some way.


PS
There is a conio for linux, but it seems to be a wrapper around ncurses. Search for linux conio

Moved to Fedora forum where this is more suitable and changed the title to something more suitable as well, instead of "Urgent" which doesn't describe your post or question whatsoever.

if you have a problem with some function, just type
Code:
man function
should provide you with alot of info about the function - which #includes you need, arguments, return values, behavior etc
(and dont tell me man pages are ugly! )

Hi!

This is because getch() is defined in conio.h, which is not an ANSI C library.
If you include #include <stdio.h> you can use getchar()
There are some differences between getch() and getchar() but I think this can help you.
