Just go "gcc testprog.c" and it'll create a file called "a.out" (or feed it 
"-o testprog" to have that file be called testprog instead).

I just compiled it and it compiled for me.

It's not finding the c library, because you're compiling it wrong.  If you 
explicitly tell it to break up the linking phase, you have to explicitly tell 
it to link with libc.

Have you ever compiled a c program before?
