Write this out to a file called hello.c:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
	printf("Hello, world!\n");
	return 0;
}

Then say "make hello" in that directory.  If you don't get a "hello" 
program that says "Hello, world!" when you run it, you haven't got the 
compiler and associated stuff installed.  Post the errors you get.
