Re: Can't run programs compiled with GCC

[Philip J Grabner <grabner interdim com>]

hey -

you aren't giving us enough information to help you...
for example, what -exactly- happens when you run the program? have you
tried
	./<program-name>

to explicitly run the command in the specified directory? if you do

	which <program-name>

does it list the program in your current dir (or wherever you are putting
the binary)? are you sure you are not specifying "-c" on the gcc line,
etc... ? is the program hanging? eg a busy loop of some kind? is your cpu
going absolutely nuts when you run the program? how do you prompt for
input (give code!)? are you prompting from the standard in (default file
descriptor 0)? is it executable? try:

	chmod 755 <program-name>

if it isn't and try again.

"my program doesn't work" is the most difficult problem to solve if there
is no other information...

and, unless you do something quite unusual, you won't need any packages...
except libc, but gcc would complain about that one...
