Did you install XCode? If not, insert your OS X disc and install it.

thanks

if i have a file called hello.c then i enter gcc hello.c to compile it but i dont know what to enter to run the program..?
./ is linux but i dont know what it is here

If you simply compile with the command 'gcc hello.c' it will create a executable called 'a.out'. To run this enter this into terminal './a.out'

To create a more meaningful name for the exec, use this:

gcc hello.c -o hello (gcc <sourcefile.c> -o <desiredname>)
