PUTTY isn't a UNIX the same way a TV isn't channel 3. Don't mistake the picture for the computer. PUTTY is a terminal emulator used to communicate with other systems over the internet, many of them UNIX systems, some of them not.

If you don't know what your system is, try running 'uname'.

Put the 'chatlib.h' file in the same folder as your .c files on the server. Your program will be able to find it with #include that way.

gcc -o outputfile sourcefile.c -L. -lchat -lsocket -lnsl
This is what you need to do in order to turn the code sourcefile.c into the program outputfile. Once you've compiled it this way, you can run it with ./outputfile

As for how to copy it into your folder, depends on how they have it set up. They probably have given you instructions on how to do so. FTP or SCP may be involved.

Worst case, you can run this in the putty window:

Code:
cat <<EOF > chatlib.h
paste the contents of chatlib.h into the window here
EOF

which will create chatlib.h with the pasted contents.

NAME

       popbugs - find RC bugs in packages you commonly use

SYNOPSIS

       popbugs [options] [popularity-contest log]

DESCRIPTION

       The  popbugs  program fetches the list of release critical bugs from the Debian bug tracking system on the internet.  It correlates the bug
       log with the popularity-contest data from your system to obtain a list of release critical bugs in packages, which  are	commonly  used	on
       your  system.   Normally  this  list  is displayed in a web browser.  Helping to resolve these bugs is a good idea, if you want to see your
       favourite programs in the next stable release of Debian.

OPTIONS

       -h

       --help Show a very short usage message.

       -ooutputfile

       --output=outputfile
	      Place the output in outputfile instead of displaying it in a browser.

       -d

       --debug
	      Output debugging information.

SEE ALSO

       rc-alert(1), popularity-contest(8)
