I cant figure out why I dont get ouput.

In bash (and other Linux shells afaik), the current directory is not in the path. This means that you should address a program called 'test' in the currect directory like this:

sijmen$ ./test

Which means 'the file test in the current directory'.

What you are doing now is starting the 'test' utility included with Linux distributions.


/edit:

You shouldn't put your files in /mnt. Use your home directory, or a subdirectory of it.

/edit2:

You shouldn't work as root either. Use a normal user account.

It works now!
Thanks allot!

unfortunately naming things test isn't a great idea, there is a program /usr/bin/test that interferes with this, referencing test ./test works, but in general naming programs 'test' isn't recommended due to test.

for more info on the 'test' utility type 'man test'

I know it's already been written, but I'll just reiterate it,

DO NOT LOG IN AS ROOT FOR REGULAR WORK

Having said that. Good luck with your coding :)

If you ever run into anything like this again, remember the command "which". It will tell you what program you are trying to call.

$ which quake4/usr/games/bin/quake4

Just to stress what Scarfy already said with large bold letters: Never ever use the root account for anything other than system configuration and maintainance.
