Decent style rules say to write this #include <stdio.h> unless you have a
good reason not to; see below.

This should be int main(void)

A more exact error would help?

"Similarly, a control line of the form

"	#include "filename"

"searches first in association with the original source file [...] and if
that search fails, then as if in the first [#include <filename>] form."

	-- K&R, Section A12.4, Page 231

Therefore, while it is extremely bad style, #include "stdio.h" would work
correctly, unless some replacement "stdio.h" is found in the current
directory, in which case this was most likely the intent.

Yes, most likely the problem is with the setup. Are the mentioned variables
defined correctly? Were the archives unpacked with the correct directory
structure?
