Try:
gcc hello.c -o hello

the "-o" specifies a filename to call the compiled program.  In your case it
was trying to write the compiled program on top of the hello.c source.

Hope that helps.
thanks,
Scott Wallace

I'm very unfamiliar with compilers, so don't laugh at my question please.
Where should I save my text files that I want to be compiled?  I type "gcc
hello.c -o hello.c", but I get "no such file or directory", then
"no input files"

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Jason
