Program won't work in DOS environment

I just compiled a program using linux(gcc) and went ahead to rename it *.exe, tried to run it under DOS but it keeps on giving a fatal error. Is it that programs compiled in linux don't work with DOS or what?

You got it! Dos and linux are two totally different operating systems. So an executable created in one OS will not work in the other OS. In linux there are emulators to run dos programs, however I don't know of any emulators that will run linux programs in dos. If you want to run the same program in Dos. First of all make sure your code is OS independent. Then get a compiler for dos and make a dos executable using the same code.

Do a google search for djgpp. It's the DOS version of gcc. It doesn't have sockets, vgalib or anything like that but it will let you write 32-bit, flat memory programs using DPMI. I believe the entire download is about 6 - 8 Mb split into several files.
