I found out which one by looking at the files in the zip files in winzip, which I didn't know it could do. ) Now I've got an entirely new error message and a few questions about the following. C:\WINDOWS\Desktop>gcc hello.cpp -o hello.exe -lm gcc.exe: hello.cpp: No such file or directory (ENOENT) The file does exist. However- #1)Does it matter which prompt I'm using ? C:\WINDOWS and C:\ seem to get the same results , but its a variable that makes me wonder if it matters. Even if this is not my problem now, I'd like to know if it could be in the future. #2)Also does it matter which directory should I save hello.cpp to ? I've put it in several different directories and none of them seem to work. How does the program know where ot look ? If the same file is in several different directories how does the program know which one to use ? Again, even if this is not my problem now, I'd like to know if it could be in the future. #3) Why else would I get this message ? I've tried different prompts and saving the file to different directories so I don't think that's the problem. So I'm stumpted as to why the file isn't being found. Red
