I am trying to write a simple C program so that I can learn how to use C. I have no trouble writing the program and creating the ex01-1.c file. I can compile the ex01-1.c file and obtain the ex01-1.0 file and then link the pieces to obtain the executable file ex01-1. When I run ex01-1 file I get the permission denied and do not know how to get rid of it. As shown below I have adjusted all the permissions that I can think of to no avail. Any help will be appreciated. clay@linux:/data4/C-Prog/Horton/les01 > ls -l -rwxrwxr-x 1 clay users 4838 Jul 13 06:39 ex01-1 -rw-r--r-- 1 clay users 127 Jul 13 06:36 ex01-1.c -rw-r--r-- 1 clay users 912 Jul 13 06:37 ex01-1.o clay@linux:/data4/C-Prog/Horton/les01 > ex01-1 bash: ./ex01-1: Permission denied clay@linux:~ > ls -l / drwxrwxr-x 4 root users 4096 Jul 13 06:30 data4 clay@linux:~ > cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdc2 /data4 auto noauto,user 0 0 clay@linux:~ > ls -l /dev/hdc2 brw-rw---- 1 root users 22, 2 Jan 19 01:36 /dev/hdc TIA Clay Stapleton Scottsdale, Arizona
