Try  g   hw cpp   a out   g   is the C   compiler frontend to GCC  gcc is the C compiler frontend to GCC   Yes  Xcode is definitely an option  It is a GUI IDE that is built on-top of GCC   Though I prefer a slightly more verbose approach    include  lt iostream gt   int main         std  cout  lt  lt   Hello world    lt  lt  std  endl

You didn t specify what the error you re seeing is   Is the problem that gcc is giving you an error  or that you can t run gcc at all   If it s the latter  the most likely explanation is that you didn t check  UNIX Development Support  when you installed the development tools  so the command-line executables aren t installed in your path   Re-install the development tools  and make sure to click  customize  and check that box
