Eric, Please do "gcc -v" or "cc -v" and tell us what it says. I have the following 4 line program:
int main() { printf("Hello World!"); } It compiles and run properly, even without the normal "#include" files. I am using a straight Mandrake 8.1 installation and my version of gcc is 2.96 20000731. Now let me say this. My prompt is the normal, or default [pen@myhost dir]$ When I run the program what I see is: Hello World![pen@myhost dir]$ You should also be aware of one more "funny" thing that Linux does. After running a.out, the hello world example, As soon as I type something, anything, then the hello world program output and my prompt line: Hello World![pen@myhost dir]$ is comes just: [pen@myhost dir]$ It looks like the program never printed anything at all. Hope this helps. /Pen
