Evening,

After a little more fiddling I have determined for sure that something 
isn't in a table it should be in.

MOIRA::CSMELOSKY$ run dka0:[vms$common.sysexe]decc$compiler
%CLI-F-SYNTAX, error parsing 'VCG$VERSION'
-CLI-E-ENTNF, specified entity not found in command tables
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows

(I just did that for a test...doing a full reinstall won't help.   How 
would I manually toss it in to DCLTABLES?)


The installation should add "CC" (the C Compiler) command to DCLTABLES.EXE.
Make sure that you have only one DCLTABLES.EXE in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB].

You can not simply RUN the C compiler executable because it will look for
command information via CLI$routines/SYS$CLI callbacks.   You *might* get
away with $ MCR DKA0:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]DECC$COMPILER not giving you the
stack dump traceback but gawd only knows what qualifier defaults you will
be given.

When you have the C Compiler installed, try:

$ CREATE HELLO.C
#include <stdio.h>
main() { printf("Hello World\n");}
^Z     <== Ctrl/Z to exit
$ CC HELLO
$ LINK HELLO
$ RUN HELLO


FYI, You also require a PAK for the DEC C compiler.
