I've written a sample program, just to test gcc on N9. Just a program which contain printf("success");

However, it gives me some errors (screenshot attached).

I've installed the necessary packages for compilation (gcc-4.4, g++-4.4) and dependencies.

Could someone figure out what am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Seems like your encoding is screwed up?

Stray xxxx in program.

So how do I fix it?

In my development process, I used to get theis error (if I remember correctly) when I copy-pasted, or when I typed with the ctrl or shift keys pressed or when I used the wrong white-space intead of a regular space.
You can try creating a new text file type all the code you want while making sure the ctrl or shift keys are not pressed, and compile that file.

Don't copy and paste code - you need to type it in manually.
