[Trevor Blythe]

Heres my file system:

src (this was cloned from the repo)/
main.c/

main.c is simply the copied and pasted hello world node API example.

It doesn't compile.

Is node just broken?? This is the simplest possible example and the code doesn't even work. Am I supposed to know something before hand that wasn't told to me?
