Real basic compile/run question

[Roger]

I'm still new to C and am having trouble running a compiled program.

In the past when I compile on Linux I never specified a name of the file, so I would run the program with this command line argument:
./a.out

Now when I compile, I am adding "-o myPgm" to the command line argument. How do I run the program now?

Again, the OS is Linux.

./myPgm

You need to use ./ to specify an executable in the current working directory. This is to prevent confusion with binaries in the $PATH environment variable.
