Igor,

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.  I did install the
package, and there was no error message.  However, when I try to execute
the .exe file that results in compiling the C file(hello.c), I get:
bash: hello.exe: command not found

Can you please offer your insight?

Thanks again.

Paul
