hi devils_csper...i executed the code which u had given to me...with return 0.....i got the follwoing thing....
"arvind@arvind:$ cc test.c
/usr/bin/ld : crt1.o:No such file:No such file or directory
collect2:ld returned 1 exit status"

[devils casper]

Execute this

 rpm -qf /usr/lib/crt1.o

Output will be something like glibc-devel-x.x.x.xx
x x x are numbers here.
Install that package using yum.

yum -y install glibc-devel.x.x.x.xx

Relace x x x with correct numbers.
