    beginning C Programmer - Need Help Compiling Program

    I am new to programming in C and I am having an issue. I am running a macbook with tiger and I try to compile a simple program named sample.c with the following command:

    gcc sample.c

    When I do this I get the following error

    ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt1.o

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help

    Sounds like you have an incomplete install of gcc. See if you can get a full installation. I'm not very familiar with the Mac world to help you out with the exact details, but it's probably not too difficult.
