Can you put the following into a file?

---------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int
main( )
{
    puts( "Hello World" ) ;
    return 0 ;
}
-----------------------------------------

Call the file 'hello.c' or something.  Then run :

$ gcc hello.c -o hello
$ ./hello

You should see "Hello World" printed on the screen.  If you get any
error mesages, paste them to the list and attach a copy of the C file
(just to make sure there wasn't a typo).

HTH,
