Hi Mark,
Okay, tried it last nite. It was fine. Thanks!
I did this (very simple program...):

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
   printf("hello, world!\n");
   return 0;
}

Then I typed: bash$ cc hello.c
                   bash$ ls
                   bash$ a.out     hello.c

So rename the a.out file:  cc hello.c -o hello
Then run it:                    ./hello
Ouput:                           "hello, world!"


I haven't tried using gcc before.  Will this GNU C Compiler work?
cheers!
