BTW, if you have gnu make installed ( which you should on Linux ), then you
can do this in one step without a Makefile.

make fred

In the absense of a Makefile, make will look for a fred.c and fred.h and
then compile fred.c with the default c compiler, placing the executable in
fred.

It does other stuff, but I use the c functionality.

That looks like what you need.

This doesn't matter. You're not accessing the disk space via the raw device,
so it's perms for the filesystem that matter.

Have you used file on ex01-1 to make sure it's an executable.

$ file /bin/bash 
/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), stripped
