If you have basic c source code on your computer, and you have gcc installed, you can compile it with this command: gcc nameofsourcefile.c That will give you an executable file called a.out in the same directory as the source code. If the source code requires a library (ncurses, gtk, etc) then you will need to specify that on the commandline, too. > Is there any gui like c++/visual c avalable for > centos? Are you trying to ask for a recommendation for a programmers editor? If so, the best editor depends on the type of programming that you do. There are numerous editors available on Centos, and many of them have C templates. The simplest are probably gedit and vim, both of which will automatically colourize C source code if the source file ends with .c. Fancier editors like Geany, Anjuta and Eclipse are all highly recommended by various people. I personally use Geany but again, the best editor depends on your personal taste and expectations, and the type of programming that you do. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
