Re: [ts-7000] newbe question

thanks tom,  
it ended up being a path problem. it did not find the arm gcc and default  linux gcc.
i am surprised it even compiled at all.

David,

Are you sure it's compiled? I get that error when I chmod +x button.c,
and then try to execute it.
You can "cat" it, or check the file length per below (where a.out is the
compiled version of the sample program):

$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12846 Dec 25 02:47 a.out
-rw------- 1 root root 1556 Dec 22 23:20 button.c
$

If it's a text file, but marked as executable, ash will try to execute
it as a shell script, hence the syntax error with unbalanced parenthesis.
