Umm, the problem is not with Linux or gcc, it's an error in your code.
The second argument to scanf in the line
scanf("%s", &filename);
needs to be a pointer to a char ARRAY large enough to hold the input. The
way it is, you are overwriting memory. The fact that is works on digital
unix is just a fluke.
