So, it's a permissions issue. . .
Exactly, yet you haven't show any of the file permissions in your above foray.

Again I'll say it umask is largely what controls how permissions are set when files are created. This is basic *nix 101...

    Your system, and mine behave nothing alike. For instance if I
    attempt to run an executable without using dot slash prefixed. The
    executable will simple fail silently.

            No, Mike is absolutely correct. dot's meaning in this
            context is current directory, and slash is just a path
            modifier / separator. Putting the file in ones $PATH
            would solve the "problem" of having to use dot slash I've
            know  this forever, I do not know why I was thinking that
            chmod +x would solve that "issue", because it wont.

            I do recall at some point perhaps not too long ago that
            changing file permissions to executable was required. But
            now days this does not seem to be the case . . . I've
            always in the last several years use ./executable until I
            put the executable into my local path . . .

                Maybe we need to learn what ./ does... It has
                absolutely nothing to do with a files permissions or
                whether it's executable or not.  It's use is
                regarding the lack of the current directory "." in
                one's PATH variable.  Umask is (largely) what
                controls what permissions a file is created with.

                    No chmod needed, no myprogram.o there, why the
                    sudo????
