Unable to compile simple C program.

Post by birinci2012 »

Hi everybody.
I am a Linux Mint KDE 15 User.
i wanted to write simple program in C.
Below is my code.(hw.c)

Code: Select all

#include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    int main()
    {
        printf("Hello World");
    }
But, when i try to compile it with gcc

Code: Select all

gcc -o hw hw.c
it gives me an error

Code: Select all

hw.c:1:18: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
I googled and found some solutions which say to install `build-essential`
and tried to install it

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essintial
but it gives an error again.
The error is

Code: Select all

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                                libc-dev
                       Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.4.3) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So what is wrong? What is the problem?
How to solve it?


PS.
The result of

Code: Select all

locate stdio.h
is

Code: Select all

 /usr/lib/perl/5.14.2/CORE/nostdio.h
    /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include/stdio.h
