Thank you for your speedy reply. Yes, the "Hello" program is a C/C++
institution as almost every C/C++ programmer started with it. The book I have
begins with it. However, upon trying to compile it I get the message, "command
not found" from bash. rpm says, "cpp not installed, c++ not installed" so
therefore, I have to install the compiler and lib's before I can run "Hello."
