It sounds like you don't have a C compiler. Since you're using Debian, you should probably simply apt-get install the "gcc" package. > Without knowing too much what i was doing, i have then installed > SDCC "a freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI C compiler that > supports a growing list of processors including the Intel mcs51 > family, the Zilog z80 and the Maxim ds390." That sounds like a compiler for embedded systems and such. You probably don't want that one. What you want (for a start) is GCC.
