My C programming .el file has the following section - the 6th line is
probably what you are looking for - (setq indent-tabs-mode nil).
,----
| (defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
| (c-set-style "K&R") ; offset customizations not in my-c-style
| (setq tab-width 3) ;; change this to taste, this is what K&R uses :)
| (my-build-tab-stop-list tab-width)
| (setq c-basic-offset tab-width)
| (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
|
| (defun find-tag-noconfirm ()
| (interactive)
| (find-tag (find-tag-default)))
|
| (defun find-tag-repeat ()
| (interactive)
| (find-tag nil t nil))
|
| (defun jump-man-page ()
| (interactive)
| (manual-entry (current-word)))
|
| (setq Man-notify-method 'newframe)
|
| (let ((dl '(
| ([f1] . jump-man-page)
| ([f5] . find-tag-noconfirm)
| ([f6] . find-tag-repeat)
| ([f7] . pop-tag-mark)
| ([f2] . gdb-restore-windows)
| ([f10] . compile)
| ([f11] . next-error)
| ([f12] . gdba))))
| (dolist (i dl)
| (define-key c-mode-map (car i) (cdr i))))
| )
|
| (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)

The last line is probably of interest to you.
