Ok, this is frustrating... yesterday when I compiled some stuff I wrote in C++, I was able to run the executable by typing exp1.o at the command prompt... Today, I tried it again and got the following output: []$ cd ~/C++assignments [C++assignments]$ g++ Assn2.cpp -oexp1.o [C++assignments]$ dir Assn2.cpp Currency2-1.o Currencycalc2-2.cpp Currencycalc3.cpp Assn2.cpp~ Currency2-2.o Currencycalc2-2.cpp~ exp1.o Currency1.cpp Currencycalc2-1.cpp Currencycalc2.cpp Currency1.o Currencycalc2-1.cpp~ Currencycalc2.cpp~ [C++assignments]$ exp1.o bash: exp1.o: command not found [C++assignments]$ For some reason my compiled program won't run today, but it did yesterday using the exact same commands. I love linux, but little inconsistent crap like this is really aggrivating... I re-installed the gcc RPM's and upgraded my BASH shell to no avail... I need some help here, or it's back to M$ Visual C++ to get my school work done. I am trying to avoid this, especially since I got done telling my class how great open source and Linux are, but now I might have to eat my words next week... ANY help would be appreciated..
