I wrote a request but was not postedl, I am writing again.

I have managed to create project and written Hello World C source file. I
am stuck when trying to compile/run it. I clicked on the "Run -> Run.."
but got nothing. I got the screen of managing configuration, but not sure
what it's for.

Can someone pls advise how to run/compile a C program. Thx.

the screen you are presented with is asking you where the executable is.
You want to choose the executable you just built. then hit run.

Thanks for your response. Pls bear with me, I am totally new.

In the FAQ, it's mentioned the need to install the compiler. But only
Windows version compilers are mentioned there. In Mac, I understand the
gcc is installed automatically when Xcode is installed. I have Xcode in
my iBook, but I don't know still how to run compilation from Eclipse. For
Windows, FAQ instructs right hand click on the project and there will be
option to rebuild, i.e to compile the files. What about for Mac?

If you have the CDT installed, then I suggest reading the Eclipse help
file under C++ Development/Getting Started. If you can run gcc from the
command line, then you should be able to run it using Eclipse by following
the steps described there.
