I'm guessing you're more of a Windows user, so humour me when I ask: Is the 'executable bit' set on band.exe ? Try 'ls -l band.exe'. You may see something like: -rw-rw-rw- 1 others others 6243 Oct 28 13:51 band.exe Now try 'chmod a+x band.exe' and then repeat the ls command, hopefully you'll get something more like: -rwxrwxrwx 1 others others 6243 Oct 28 13:51 band.exe The x characters mean that the file is now executable by you, your group and everyone else. Or something like that: my Unix is woefully rusty. Further caveat: my hazy recollection is that compilers on Linux (and other Unixes) set the x bit by default on the executable files they create. So I'm doubting my own suggestion. > -----Original Message----- > From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of JARVIS, > KANDY S.
