Hi, 

You are failing to allocate memory. This sample program should look
something like this: 

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  char *str;
  str = malloc (5);
  strcpy(str, "hello");
  printf("say %s\n", str);
  free(str);
  return 0;
}

Best, 
Lev
