Perryman writes: >gcc -c hello.c -o hello The "-c" option tells gcc to create a .o file. You are forcing it to create a .o file (lacking the .o suffix), not an executable. That's why trying to run it with go32 fails. Since the "-c" option is working, and "gcc hello.c" isn't, it sounds like you may be missing ld (the linker) which is in a separate binutils package. -Mat
