in linux programs are executable if they are set to be executable using chmod (type "man chmod" to learn more).
For example if you want everyone to be able to execute a file you could do :
$ chmod 777 fileName
and then you could do this to execute the file :
$ fileName
Contrarily to Windows the extension doesn't mean anything to the OS.

try :
$ ./fileName
When you are in the actual folder with the item or the full path of the item :
$ /etc/bin/fileName
Good luck!

to compile most people use gcc (man gcc to learn more).
I don't know of any IDE's or anything that could help out though I am certain there are some in the realm of existance!

I do not have access to my linux box right now but I do believe that make and gcc commands are what you should look into.
To check out the flags you can use for each of them you can use :
$ man make
$ man gcc
I hope this helps.

The debugger for gcc is gdb: man gdb.
Install it if you don't have it installed already.
Do a google search for gdb frontends.
Kdbg for the K desktop environment is decent.
I usually don't use debuggers for my own development but
for other peoples code they are very helpful.

For me I use vim to write my code.
If you add the -g option to gcc it will be easier to debug your code (adds source code to prog to allow line by line debug).
For debug I use ddd. It interfaces with gdb but gives it a graphical frontend that makes it easier to set break points and to see the call graph for the program.
