I need to know how to run C++ apps through the command line. I write them in pico and compile them using the c++ command but I cannot run them. On my linux server, I run C++ apps by typing ./a.out programname but this gives me an error. I write mostly mathematical apps, like adding all the numbers from 0 to 100 or calculating the position of planets. I would like some help so I can move from my i586 Linux box to OS X on a 500 G3.

What's the error?

./a.out works just fine for me.

Either it gives me a command not found error or it does nothing. I am including a little C++ program I wrote. Maybe I don't have the right headers or something.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<math.h>

main()
{

float i, x, sum;
sum = 0;
cout << "Enter x: ";
cin >> x;
cout << endl;
for ( i=1 ; i<= x ; i++ )
{
sum = sum + i;
}

cout << "The sum of the numbers between 1 and "<<x<<" is: ";
cout << sum;
cout << endl;
return (0);
}

#include <iostream> (make sure it has a space).

Nope, still doesn't work. Now it just sits there like it activated the application but won't give the the user prompts.

Aha! The main problem: You need to flush your iostream.

Put a \n at the end of each cout. That'll work.

How do you mean? I tried putting \n in my code like I was taught but I get stray '\' in program errors when I compile. If you could give me a small C++ program that you know works I think it would help.
