If you look closely, it is a C++ program. Note that the extension is 
`.C', not `.c'

As for why it can't find `average.exe', since you do not have `-o' 
specified, it assumes it is supposed to do something with `average.exe' 
which probably doesn't exist. Remember, `-O' stands for `optimize', not 
`output'.

Well, I hope this helps.
