Is there a file called stdio.h on your system?

try typing:
sudo updatedb

and then:
locate 'stdio.h'
if that doesn't display anything type:
sudo locate 'stdio.h'

On my machine locate identifies the following:
/usr/include/bits/stdio.h
/usr/include/stdio.h
(the full output is longer)

Make sure your #include line is correct.
delete the line and type it again.
note that it is #include not #import as someone said earlier.
make sure you use <stdio.h> and NOT "stdio.h", they are not the same thing.


The following works for me:
create file hello.c with the following text:


#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  printf("Hello World!\n");
  return 0;
}



then just run gcc to compile, and run program:
$ gcc -Wall -o hello hello.c
$ ./hello
Hello World!
$

also works with cc.

Just a quick check can you type:

cc --version
