Hello msno49 Image

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum :)

Did you install build-essential with sudo apt-get install build-essential :?:

See this topic for more information viewtopic.php?f=90&t=230142

There is an interpreted form of C built into the csh shell... sudo apt-get install csh ...which is much easier for a novice to play with.

C is NOT a good language to start programming with. It isn't a high level lnguage, more like a high level assembler. I'd recommend starting with perl or python scripting.
