I'm a little confused about whether the executable you built is called "a.out" or "hello.out". However, I'm pretty sure that this is Unix programming question #1: The "current directory" isn't on your path. For security reasons, we recommend that you leave it that way. Run a file in the current directory by prefixing it with "./". # ./a.out Hello, world! # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
