Re: c programming in Linux

[Dama Prem Kumar <dpkumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The one and only reason for this is your $PATH is not having current
directory.
So, you can do two things
1) execute with ./a.out  (For executing any commands in current dir
   you need to give ./ before)
2) Other thing is append "." to your PATH variable which is very much
   preferred, since mostly we will access files from current directory
   and it will be head-ache :) to use ./ every time.
   Keep export PATH=$PATH:. statement in your profile and login
   You can execute this command at prompt also for the current shell.

Prem.,
