Try:
gcc hello.c -o hello
the "-o" specifies a filename to call the compiled program. In your case it
was trying to write the compiled program on top of the hello.c source.
Hope that helps.
thanks,
Scott Wallace

Subject: beginner's problem
I'm very unfamiliar with compilers, so don't laugh at my question please.
Where should I save my text files that I want to be compiled? I type "gcc
hello.c -o hello.c", but I get "no such file or directory", then
"no input files"
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
Jason
