I installed RedHat Linux 6.2 recently. When compiled and tried to execute a
simple C program, I got the following error - "bash: a.out: command not
found."

I compiled my HelloWorld program using gcc as follows: gcc simple.c (no
erros were reported)
Then, I checked a.out attributes, they were -rwxr-xr-x.

What can be wrong? Why doesn't it execute?

Please, help. TIA :)
