If your question is as it sounds, your user account obviously needs to have executable access. Typing ls -l `which gcc` should show you the existing permissions on the file. You can either make gcc executable by other (chmod o+x `which gcc`) so that all users can run it, or you can make it group executable (chmod g+x) and make sure your user is in the group that has access.
The first solution is probably better for you, provided you have no security concerns. - Kathy On Thu, 2002-05-30 at 22:27, Barry Michels wrote: > I've just embarked on my first Linux application and can't even compile. > When I try to start a new project, I get 'Permission Denied'.
