I have gone through the installation process and am required to compile a program using the cc or gcc command. When I do this it gives me the warning ld: a.out permission denied. If I do this from root it does create the a.out file but it is not executable. I really need help on this situation as I am required to present this to my instructor by tomorrow evening. I did install the manpages and installation was completed to 100% but was then given the warning that there was a Write Failure, the disks were reformatted and done again but still the same warning was given. I would also like to know how I may install some of the other files such as games, info,....etc, without having the installation menu. Your promptness and help will greatly be appreciated as I only have a limited time to fix this problem. One note about the a.out file, I did try to change the mode to 700 to make it executable but it was not recognized. Thank You, Shetal Lala
