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.
