beginner at C: Need help compiling/linking with gcc

Applications Programming
1

I'm trying to do something fairly simple but keep getting frustrating messages..
Here it is:
I have 3 files:
init.h <header>
init.c <#include <curses.h> and "init.h">
main.c <#include "init.h">

now, how can I compile my main.c using gcc?
( I have a hard time making the init.o)

thanks
