Subject: running a C program Hi all, Am I nuts or what, but there is no way I can run my simplest hello world C program. It was compiled by both: cc, and the gcc compilers; umask was set to 0 prior to that; and even chmod was called to rescue; however... -bash: a.out: command not found What's going on? How do I run this thing? Many thanks in advance!
