    I'm just getting started in programming C. My first attempt:
    #include < stdio.h>
    void main () {
        printf("\nHello World!\n");
    }

    Threw this error:
    [dotancohen@localhost ~]$ gcc hello.c
    hello.c:1:20: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
    hello.c: In function 'main':
    hello.c:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in
    function 'printf'
    hello.c:2: warning: return type of 'main' is not 'int'
    hello.c:4:2: warning: no newline at end of file

    So I googled for "1:20: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory"
    and found a post that suggests that the answer to the problem is found
    in the gcc manual. So I started reading it, but it is long and I'm not
    finding anything!

    I think that I'm missing a library stdio.h but I don't know where to
    find it, and where to put it once I do find it. Or am I completly
    wrong? The error message is pretty clear.
