This is nothing to do with C, it's standard UNIX filesystem stuff. In X Terminal, to see the permissions, do (you'll need to change to the directory where you extracted the files first):
Code:
ls -l expcomp
If the expcomp file it doesn't show up with (at the start of the line) "-rwx" then you'll need to reset the permissions:
Code:
chmod 755 expcomp
I'd also advise reading something like http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html to get to know a bit more about what these commands are doing.
