I have just tried the first in gcc on this computer and it works fine. What parameters are you using?

Both are valid for C89, but not C99.

or
int main( void )
{
}
which can be written as
int main()
{
}
or in C89 as
main()
{
}
as C89 tells the C compiler, it has to assume int if there is no type declared for a functions return value.

I would suggest you have a look at the comp.lang.c faq, at
