bash: command not found


Hi,

I'm trying to compile and run a simple c++ program in the command line.
But after the compilation, bash replies "command not found" when I try to run the program.

g++ -o sim_pro sim_pro.cpp
sim_pro
bash: sim_pro: command not found

PLZ help me!!!

You need to run the executable as "./sim_pro". This tells the shell to run the executable in the current directory (which is what . is shorthand for). When you specify an executable, the shell looks in the directories listed in $PATH for it, so that's why you get "command not found" (because it isn't in one of those directories).

Unless sim_pro is in a directory that is in your $PATH, you need to provide either the absolute or relative path to the executable. Try executing sim_pro like
Code:
./sim_pro

Hey There,

Do you have g++ aliased (Wondering if there's an odd character in there)


Also, have you tried changing your shell and running this. If ksh gives you the same error, try using -Wall in your compile options so that, if it's really g++ complaining, it'll let you know.

Best wishes,

Mike

Hi,

The problem is solved. I try calling ./sim_proc, and it works. Thanks very much!

Good show and embarassment on my end

I thought the g++ compile was giving the error, not the compiled executable... Ignore all the wasted space I added to this thread earlier
