Absolute beginner. Help please.

I am just beginning and was doing the "Hello World" project. I have even copy and pasted the example from the tutorial, but everytime I try to compile, I get an error that reads

[Build Error] No rule to make target 'Hello World.cpp' needed by '"Hello World.o"'. Stop.

I have been having trouble finding a solution for such a basic problem. Any advice is appreciated.

  // Katie Conway - Hello World! - 6/13/2013 - (First Program)
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}

Would you happen to be using Dev C++?

What IDE / Compiler are you using? maybe try to rename the file by removing the space to say hello_world.cpp

[ar2007]

no problem in the code.
what: << hello world.o>>?
maybe you have the wrong file extension in which you saved the code

How are you trying to compile the program?

Windows or Unix or Unix clone?

In an IDE (Visual Studio / CodeBlocks / XCode / Eclipse)?

or from the command Line (g++ / cl / make / gmake)?

I'm sorry for not including enough information, but thank you all very much!

I'm using Dev C++, and when I renamed the file by removing the space, it worked fine.

Thank you!

You really should switch to a more recent version of Dev-C++.
For instance, this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/

Alright, thank you for the link
