Since you mentioned error messages, I'm assuming you get those while compiling, eg. running make.[1] Some editors, at least vim and emacs, support compiling directly from within them. Should you receive any errors during the compile, the cursor will be automatically moved on the right line in the right file! In vim the command is :make, in emacs M-x compile. Help for those commands will tell you more. 1. If you are not running make, but gcc directly, then I suggest you make a small Makefile, it'll usually pay off if you compile often. -- Tommi Komulainen Tommi.Komulainen@iki.fi GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
