I am running os x version el capitan and have installed gcc5 via homebrew. However, compiling simple programs such as:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

leads to following error:

hello.c:1:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

This is the case for any other standard c library, such as time.h.

I've been reading around concerning where gcc looks to link against library, and according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17939930/finding-out-what-the-gcc-include-path-is I can get the list in the following manner:

echo | gcc-5 -Wp, -v

Which results in following paths:

gcc version 5.2.0 (Homebrew gcc 5.2.0)

Doing it for the os x gcc compiler, I get the following:

clang -cc1 version 7.0.0 based upon LLVM 3.7.0svn default target
x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0
ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/include"

ignoring nonexistent directory

include "..." search starts here:

End of search list.

I do not know what these outputs mean, nor where my standard libraries are located. Could anybody help me configure gcc5 correctly?

Something is wrong with installation. Try updating Homebrew and reinstalling gcc-5. On El Capitan

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.4.0

should be

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0

Works fine for me.
