really, really dumb c question

o'o'a'a

We're talking very basic here...



I've got a helloworld program written:



#include <stdio.h>



main()

{

printf("hey there\

");

}



and compiled with gcc thusly:

gcc -o hello hello.c



But I get a "command not found" error when I try to execute hello. What completely obvious thing am I missing here??

It's possible that you don't have your current working directory "." in your $PATH so try starting the program with ./hello instead of just hello

Bingo. Duh.



Anyway, thanks! I really appreciate the help.
