g++ output file

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Greg -

When you are superuser your current workind directory is not on the
command path, so you would have to type "./a.out" to execute the
program. You should probably give the executable file an explicit name,
like this:

g++ [switches] -o progname progname.c

Your source code is "progname.c" and "progname" ends up contai;ning the
executable instead of "a.out"

Hope that helps.
