C compiler in Linux

[Prishtina]

Hi ,,
I'm trying to compile a simple hello world C file with gcc and run it.. When i try to run a.out it says bash: a.out: command not found even though a.out is there...

Try ./a.out

The current directory (.) is not usually in your path be default so you have to say where a.out is to be found.

If you want to add the current directory to your PATH, you can do a echo "export PATH=$PATH:." >> ~/.bash_profile and then type source ~/.bash_profile
