Hi there!
    I keep getting the following error when i try to run any c programs:
for example using a simple test program like
tom.c

#include<stdio.h>

void main(void)
{

int x;

printf("X is %d\n",x);

}

 i give the following command:

gcc -o tom -c tom.c

and i get this when i run the executable tom:

./tom:Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.

Why does this happen? and how do i fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
