Programming

So you're on Solaris. Please forget about /usr/ucb/cc, it's a BSD compiler and doesn't have "high tech" ANSI features like, ... the const keyword. Try /cc/SUNWspro/bin/cc. If you're on Solaris 10, you should also have /usr/sfw/bin/gcc.

I get both a.out and hello2 when I compile hello2.c using gcc and cc.My problem is that when I want to run either a.out or hello2,I get the error:"bash: hello2: command not found"
I am in bash shell.
Thanks

yes, because the shell doesn't know where to find the executable and execute it. So, you just need to modify the above PATH environment variable.. add a . (which means current directory) add the beginning of your PATH env var:

export PATH=".:/usr/ucb:$PATH"

and rerun the .profile file (or .bashrc) with the command:

Code:

$ . .profile

now you should be able to execute your executable programs.. Before doing this you can try your exe by typing ./hello2 at command prompt and it should execute...

I added the export statement to .bashrc and .bash_profile and saved it
then I executed . .bashrc command from command prompt
then I compiled using cc -o hello2 hello2.c and gcc -o hello2 hello2.c
but I cannot run ./hello2

check if the binary that cc creates is executable

are u getting any cannot execute message ?
if so, change the perm bits of the executable

I changed the permission for the executable but I still get

bash: ./hello2: Permission denied
when I run hello2

alphakg, 2 questions:
1- what platorm are you using?
2- what's the output of "ls -l" command in your current directory where you are compiling your program? Post the output of the comand here..
