I am trying to compile notesearch.c from the book "hacking the art of exploitation" and I get an error. I remember being able to do it just fine. I am on a x86 3.16.7.4-1-MANJARO Linux computer.

You need to say gcc -o notesearch notesearch.c. Otherwise, you are OUTPUTTING (-o) to the .c file, which is not good. Also, you may want to consider compiling with these other flags:

-Wall: Warn All, very useful. -Werror: Again, very useful. -g: This is my favorite flag. It compiles with debug symbols, so that you can start you program in gdb (Gnu DeBugger) and then examine what is happening, change values of variables during execution, and generally debug it. gdb is VERY helpful.
