Thread: Help with my first C Compile

I have the below code, trying to compile it on the latest Ubuntu (Debian) OS, 2.6.10 Kernel. and getting the following errors:

Code:

#include

main()
{
        printf( "Hello, world!\n" );
}

Error:

andrewj@ubuntu-vaio:~$ cc hello.c
hello.c:1:9: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

Tried it as root, tried everything I could on the net but can't sort it. Talk about falling at the first hurdle!!???!!!

If anyone has any ideas to I can get coding in C, it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Andrew Jones

it happens with everyone who tries to learn a new language.
you hv to give the name of header file to include which u hv'nt given.corrected by sinkula.
u hv to include the respective header file if u r using any standard lib function.header file contains the info(prototype)

yes - like this one:

Code:

#include <stdsplling.h>
