i am totally new to linux thing with very little know how of programming.......
i wrote a very simple following program...

#import <stdio.h>
#import <string.h>

void main()
{
printf("yes it works");
return;
}

but ended with the following set of errors actuall more errors than the line of code.....

first.c:1:18: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
first.c:2:19: error: string.h: No such file or directory
first.c: In function ‘main’:
first.c:6: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘printf’
first.c:5: warning: return type of ‘main’ is not ‘int’

can anybody help to start learning it

Thanks.

Something is missing, namely the stdio.h header file.

In case things didn't get installed, open a terminal and type the
command sudo apt-get install build-essential

This installs everything for compiling software. It's a mystery
why it wasn't there, but...

Use #include instead of #import.

I was wondering if the compiler is installed then why its not recognizing header files.....neways given command worked and code is successfully compiled.....thanks
