Compiling C in Fedora Core 2

mparsons · 11-11-2005, 04:56 PM

I have a very simple program that I am trying to compile for a class project. I'm using fedora core 2 and gcc as the compiler. I am using gedit to create the file. Here is the program.

/* This is sample.c program */
/* your name*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int hours=40;
int rate=20;
int pay=0;
pay = hours * rate;
printf (�\nHere is the pay amount: %d� , pay);

return (0);
}

When i try to compile the program it returns several errors. Just curious what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.

This line did not copy correctly here is what is was supposed to say:
printf ("\nHere is the pay amount: %d" , pay);

It compiles fine here. What command did you use to compile it and what were the errors?

i used gcc sample.c to compile the program it complains that it can't find stdio.h

/usr/include/stdio.h should be available on your system. Perhaps you need to install some sort of glibc-devel.rpm?

stdio.h is not in the /usr/include directory. Can I add it by going to add/remove programs? If so which program do I need to add?

type "yum install glibc-devel" (as root). And the header files you need will hopefully be installed.

Thank you so much apepost. You are a lifesaver. I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work
