What happens if you take the following C program (cut & paste into hello.c):

	#include <stdio.h>
	int main()
	{
		puts ("Wotcha!");
		return 0;
	}

and type:
	gcc -o hello hello.c


Nice simple gcc test. If this fails....is the development libc installed? 
(ie, are there lots and lots of files in /usr/include all called <summat>.h) 
? If not, you'll need them.
