I just started learning C, and wrote my hello world program:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("Hello World");
return 0;
}
When I run the code, I get a really long error:
Apple Mach-O Linker (id) Error

Should I reinstall DevTools?
If you read the error messages (specifically the line starting ld: duplicate symbol _main in ...), you'll notice that it's complaining about two main functions, one in:
......blah blah blah/helloworld.o
and the other in:
......yada yada yada/main.o
That means your project is screwed up somehow. Either you have two separate source files containing main or Xcode is supplying one automagically.
You just need to fix that.
