I am very new to using GCC in Linux. I have written a sample C program,when I try and run the C program in command line using gcc file.c, it gives me the following errors:

In file included from /usr/include/features.h:388:0,
                 from /usr/include/limits.h:25,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/include/limits.h:168,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/include/syslimits.h:7,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/include/limits.h:34,
                 from adder_test_gen.c:1:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:10:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-64.h: No such file or directory
 # include <gnu/stubs-64.h>
                           ^

When I type which gcc, I get the location of the installed file, I get the version number as:

\gcc (GCC) 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7)

What am I missing?

If `gcc --version` doesn't work, then most likely it was installed incorrectly. Try reinstalling it. – Colonel Thirty Two Nov 22 '14 at 14:15
Now wasn't showing the version, but now it is. Its college computer , so I cannot reinstall – chitranna Nov 22 '14 at 14:17
are you sure that directory exisits and the compiler can find it? – Jack Nov 22 '14 at 14:23
Yes, I also get the version number – chitranna Nov 22 '14 at 14:25

It seems you are missing the `glibc-devel` package which contains the `stubs-64.h` file. Google would have told you so. If you cannot install software (i.e. have no root access) there is nothing you can do about it. – 1k5 Nov 22 '14 at 14:30
IF `gnu/stubs-64.h` is not installed at `/usr/include` AND you can't fix the installation THEN ask the administrator. – harper Nov 22 '14 at 14:31

can you compile a file containing just `main();` ? – Antzi Nov 22 '14 at 14:44
I cannot compile main(); – chitranna Nov 22 '14 at 14:54
Please show us your code! – Rizier123 Nov 22 '14 at 19:25
