Source file helloc.c should look something like this:


=======
#include <stdio.h>

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


compile it with

gcc -o hello hello.c


If you get errors, you probably haven't installed all the packages you need:

gcc, cpp, binutils, libc6-dev (this assumes Debian 2.0; use libc5 if
you're still on bo)
