If you're trying to execute a.out it probably won't help trying to execute 'hello.out'. Not sure if this is a typo or not. If you're not able to execute a.out by simply typing it it's probably not in your $PATH. You can execute a.out by prepending it with ./ ie: ./a.out If a.out is not a workable name for a binary you can compile with a -o flag: g++ -o helloworld hello.cpp This creates a binary named helloworld. -- |> /\ \/ @ davidd@datasphereweb.com DataSphere - Back end web programming, site security, and networking david.daugherty@netmanage.com Software Engineer NetManage - The Bridge to E-Business http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~doc ICQ: 21106703 "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past" -Thomas Jefferson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
