i have tried to compile a .c file. it works fine generating a.out. but when i type
./a.out
it shows "Permission denied". i tried using the root user but the case is same. any ideas?

Are you trying to compile in a non-Linux partition?

Not sure if I'm on the right track here but you might make it executable ...

chmod +x a.out

yeah, i was doing that. i tried to move the files to my home partition and now they work fine. but i would like to know how i can run them from a non-Linux partition.

thanks for the help.

You have to mount with the exec option. You may not have explicitly specified noexec, but some other mount options imply noexec so you need to put exec after that to override. Notably the user option. See man mount.

Thanks. now i understood why it said permission denied.
