You get a clean compile/link, but running test does nothing!

A name space collision with bash's internal command?


Obviously! This also point to a bad habbit:
        Daniel you have '.' in your path!!!

True, but only on a regular user account, never as root.



Otherwise you couldn't run programs from an arbitrary current directory just by typing their name and you would get used to: ./test which always runs what you want (you can try other fun names like ./cd ./set ./if etc.)

Another related issue. I hope nobody don't use '.' in your path
as root -- this is suicidal in terms of security.
