hi,
ok ..got the respobnse to my question.. i had to use "./" b4 the output filename... fine.. now one more other doubt...

we have to run the output file using ./a.out (where a.out is the compiled, n linked file) .. now how can i run a.out without using "./" b4 the filename???

thanx

For that you have to include the pwd in the path. You can do that by running
in the sh/ksh/bash family of shells. Remember though, this is considered to be very insecure (especially if you are running as root).
