Adding headerfiles of 'C language' to vi editor ??

hiiii friends ,
i am using SUSE 11.0 KDE 4.0 , i am student, so i used to write C programs in my system using vi editor as..

Code:

$ vi filename.c

But in our college we use turbocpp to run programs , there we have graphics.h,conio.h we have to run the programs which uses those headerfiles. I want to run those programs in my terminal
but they shows..

Code:

raju@linux-d6yt:~> cc prog1.c
prog1.c:2:18: error: conio.h: No such file or directory
prog1.c:3:21: error: graphics.h: No such file or directory
raju@linux-d6yt:~>

Is there any chance of running graphics in my terminal ??

Those libraries are not "standard c" libraries. They will not work on Linux. You need to look into ncurses (TLDP NCurses How-to).

I don't know if this link might be of help to you, it is the TurboC Hompe Page - porting Borland Turbo C source code to GNU gcc. It may give you a few clues, but seems to be a work in progress and the author's needs probably don't match your own.

hiiii, as u gave suggestion to install Linux version of TurboC http://www.sandroid.org/TurboC/ .I had installed that.
I can clearly say that , i was able add those headerfiles, but now my problem is they are giving some "symbolic link error"

Code:

raju@linux-d6yt:~/Documents> cc prog.c
prog.c:2:18: error: /usr/include/conio.h: Too many levels of symbolic links
raju@linux-d6yt:~/Documents>

I guess that this might be as close as you get. I notice that the project page was last updated in 2004, well before SUSE 11.
From some of the comments made on the bug listing, a number of the problems appear to be the anomalous way in which Borland implemented the TurboCpp compiler; described as conceptual problems.
I think that yoou might be unlucky. Don't you just love proprietary programs in education.
Sorry, I guess that the faculty would prefer that you stepped out and bought a copy of Borland cpp and a platform to run it on.
