PATH is not the problem. PATH was already set correctly with the dot for the current directory or why would the executable runantplot created by the commands in ccprog run? Or why would ccsprog work in tsch? The environment variables do not change when I change shells.

Did you try to set the PATH as I suggested?
Yes, the PATH could change, when you invoke a new shell.

Yes I did and nothing changed. I'm willing to try anything.

Also when I type env in bash and again in tcsh I see the exact same results. In fact when I redirect the env output and diff the files there is only one difference in the environmental variables SHLVL=6 vs. SHLVL=7

This is not a simple problem. I'm not new to UNIX. I've been using different flavors of UNIX for almost 20 years.

Sorry if I'm sounding snipey, I'm just frustrated. I can copy and paste the contents of ccprog on the command line and it works, but using ccprog a file with all the correct permissions - 775 - essentially executable for all isn't just not working it is not being found when I'm in bash.

It probably is something simple, but seeing the forest for the trees can be hard. Again:

Please show us exactly what you're doing. Don't transliterate. Just copy-paste.

Sorry I can not simply copy and paste. Wish I could but, I'm running an X emulator on Windows.

Starting in bash.
Code:
[kit@class antplot]$ ccprog
bash: ./ccprog: No such file or directory
[kit@class antplot]$ tcsh
[kit@class ~/antplot]$ ccprog
antplot.c: In function a:
antplot.c:68: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function a
[kit@class ~/antplot]$

The a in "function a" has ^ over it. That's another issue.

In bash ccprog results in no such file is found. In tcsh the code is compiled and executable runantplot is created using the ccprog command

Please run the following commands and post the output:

Code:
bash
type -a ccprog
bash -xv ./ccprog

Actually I can "copy and paste" if I redirect output from Linux to a file and sftp to windows.
