gcc probs

Can you give more details. Sounds a bit unclear to me on what exactly are you trying to say. Maybe give an example error message.

How did you install GCC?

And also, does giving the entire path help (/usr/include/bits/stdio.h) ?

Sometimes some libraries need to be linked while compiling. Maybe that's his problem. I had faced it with the math library.

vivek@vivek-desktop:~/programs$ gcc 1.c
1.c:1:18: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
1.c: In function ‘main’:
1.c:6: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘printf’
1.c:7: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘scanf’
1.c:10:2: warning: no newline at end of file
vivek@vivek-desktop:~/programs$ cat 1.c
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int i,y;
char *names[]={"PACIFIC","ATLANTIC"};
printf("Enter number:");
scanf("%d",&i);
printf("%o %x %d",i,i,i);
printf("%c %s",names[1],names[1]);
}vivek@vivek-desktop:~/programs$

Well, Just installing GCC won't do any good. You need to install the Libraries too!

I'd suggest you to install the build-essential Package.

sudo apt-get install build-essential


Edit: On the Lighter note, For a good editor, Try Geany. It kinda supports compile and run by just pressing F5

well vi and kate support that too
BTW, build-essential package is available in feisty CD. No need to go online to download it.

i installed libc6-dev and prob solved.

That's good but still you will be missing a few things specially a C++ compiler and stuff. It would be good to install the full build-essential package.

is it your gcc problem in solaris?
