I was making a c program that includes conio.h library but because I'm on a Debain Based OS, conio.h library is not there pre-installed so I have to search to internet and download it.
After downloading it, I wanted to know the path of GCC to copy the file there because I thought that there was a folder named gcc where all headers file are stored. I searched in the internet to find its path and I saw a blog and they said to run " which gcc " to find it and after I ran it, I got " /usr/bash/gcc ".
Now I made " cp conio.h /usr/bash/gcc " but I always get this error if I want to compile any C file or even to get its version:
" /usr/bin/gcc: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ('
/usr/bin/gcc: line 1:// Copyright (C) 2005 by Piotr He�ka (piotr.helka@nd.e-wro.pl)'
"
Every Help Would Be Very Appreciated!
EDIT: I have solved this issue by copying another functioning gcc to the actual one. Even reinstalling won't work. Another way you can solve this, is by downloading a binary of gcc and then copy that binary to the place your old broken gcc is.
Oh no! You removed the gcc binary (or symlink...) from your PC and replaced it with the header file.
I would recommend to reinstall gcc first:
sudo apt-get install gcc --reinstall
Now just run gcc to see what it does:
gcc
It should say something like "no input files".
Now about your conio problem, I suggest you read this stackoverflow question: Why can't I find <conio.h> on Linux?
