$ pcc head.c
head.c
head.o?
I thought the assembler, as, was cryptic, at least there you get a one
character error response. What is cc trying to say? Obviously head.o
won't exist unless cc succeeds...
Thanks,

Cryptic indeed. Actually, it makes some sense. I was logged in as dmr
and trying to compile the code in a directory where I didn't have
permissions (apparently I ran tar xv0 as root). So, it seems like the
compiler succeeded in compiling the code, but wasn't able to create the
output. I switched to root and was able to get head working.
Thanks,
Will
