Nabeel · 07-03-2011, 02:56 AM

Ok I wrote This program under C in a gedit text pad and then saved it with the .c extension. Now When i Tried to run it using the terminal I got this error. Does anyone knows what I am missing here.

Here is the error

m.c: 1: /*Calculation: not found
m.c: 2: /bin: Permission denied
m.c: 4: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Well... C is a compiled language, sh (bash) is your shell, and it's an interpreter for shell scripts.

You need to use a compiler with your C program, usually gcc. Bash doesn't understand C code, only shell scripts.

I recommend you to get a good C book to sort out the basics first.

Just found your thread about learning the C language. Read the post by MTK358, there you'll find a very good and concise explanation that will help you compile your program.
