creating an executable

["Justin News" <justfornews@hotmail.com>]

Currently, I have g++ installed on my laptop. I wish to do some light 
programming with it but for some odd reason I cant produce executables.
I've written the "hello world" program as a test. I've compiled and run it 
before on solaris on my Sun workstation so I don't see any reason why it 
won't work on linux on my intel laptop.

Here's the code:

#include <iostream.h>

int main() {

cout << "Hello World." << endl;

}


To compile I use the commmand:

g++ -o hello hello.cpp


I do get a "hello" file with 755 permissions so everything looks fine. 
However, when i try to run the program i get the error msg saying:

bash: hello: command not found


Has anyone else come across this problem? Am I missing a library or 
something? I made to sure to install the entire C and C++ development 
packages when installing Debian. It would be great if I could get this fixed 
so I can start doing some coding.

Thanks!
