Here's a practical example of writing, compiling and executing a piece
of C code on a Debian system:

/tmp/myhello.c
==============

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  printf("Hello world!\n");
  return 0;
}

Comiling and running
====================

/tmp$ gcc -o myhello myhello.c
/tmp$ ./myhello
Hello world!
/tmp$ 

If that doesn't work, let me know.  The gcc program has many options,
which you can find out about using the info reader.
