(Copy/paste)

/* Converts a Fahrenheit temperature to Celcius */

#include <stdio.h>
#define FREEZING_PT 36.0f
#define SCALE_FACTOR (5.0f / 9.0f)

int main(void)
{
  float fahrenheit, celcius;
  
  printf("Enter fahrenheit temperature: ");
  scanf("%f", &fahrenheit);
  
  celcius = (fahrenheit - FREEZING_PT) * SCALE_FACTOR;

  printf("Celcius equivalent: %.1f\n", celcius);

  return 0;
}

sorry...I did just retype it out in my original post, this is the actual 
code. I copied it straight from the book into Emacs. I'm on Slackware64 
13.37 and have run it within Emacs, within KDevelop and also in xterm. It's 
always -2.2. I've now made sure it has a newline at the end and have added 
one to printf:

/* Converts a Fahrenheit temperature to Celcius */

#include <stdio.h>
#define FREEZING_PT 36.0f
#define SCALE_FACTOR (5.0f / 9.0f)

int main(void)
{
  float fahrenheit, celcius;
  
  printf("Enter fahrenheit temperature: \n");
  scanf("%f", &fahrenheit);
  
  celcius = (fahrenheit - FREEZING_PT) * SCALE_FACTOR;

  printf("Celcius equivalent: %.1f\n", celcius);

  return 0;
}

it still gives 2.2.
