Hello

When I compile a C program using gcc, I get an a.out file. But when I type
a.out, the error is "No such command"

How do I execute the file?

Regards
Sridhar

Well what kind of file are you tring to compile? most of the time if you are 
tring to compile a single source file it will be named program.c to compile it 
do this
gcc program.c -o program
it tells gcc to compile program.c and that the output should be called program
which will be the binary version of that file. See how that works out for ya.

pwd is not in your path. Add it. otherwise type ./a.out

When you type "a.out", Linux checks the various "path" directories (e.g. 
"/usr/bin") for a file named "a.out".  If it can't find it, then it 
tells you that, well, it can't find it - that the command doesn't exist :o).

You can get around this by typing the exact path of the program.  Say 
a.out is located in "/home/sridhar/".  You can type "~/a.out" (from 
anywhere), or change to your home directory and type "./a.out".

./a.out maybe? To be sure you try to run it from the current
directory. I think your PATH environment varianle doesn't contains
the "." (current) directory...

Better do the the second. Adding the current directory to PATH can
cause security problems.
