I've installed the RedHat 6.0 with standard configuration and try to compile
C++ programs with gcc. It successfully generates an a.out file, but I cannot
execute the a.out file.
Why?

Please help me.

I doubt this will work.  If the program compiled ok, a.out
should already be executable.  Someone else suggested
that "." was not in the user's path.  I think this is
more likely.


Note: allowing the linker to call your program "a.out" is silly.
You should give the "-o executablename" arguments to the linker
and do it right.
