My guess would be that you are telling gcc to compile "nlp.h" and gcc
is saying "why do you want to compile a .h file?"

Though I'm also curious why you are trying to compile a file called
"nlp.out", and why gcc didn't say something about that one as well.

Don't give ".h" files as arguments to gcc. Instead add

#include "nlp.h"

at the beginning of your nlp.c file. Now run

gcc nlp.c -lm -o nlp.out

This is strictly a question about how gcc works, and isn't topical
here. One of hte gnu groups is a possible location to start.

However you may also want to think hard about what an include file is,
and how it gets included, and whether trying to compile it is actually
necessary.
