hi,
  I know that ctags produces tag files for C code. but when i press M-. 
in  c-mode, it asks for a tag file and when i provide the file generated 
by ctags i get an error. can i do something to get tags working in emacs.
thnx
abi

Use etags, an executable that should have shipped/built with your
emacs distro.  Take a look at the "Creating Tags Tables" node of the
emacs manual for details and examples of usage.
