Hi,

I have been looking into this. I'm afraid it isn't that simple. I 
just created the file with vi in the same directory I was trying 
to compile it in. I can cat it etc., so I know the text is there. 
I have even reproduced the issue on a different partition etc.. 
I'm starting to think that some other package that is installed 
on this particular system may be the source of the problem. I 
can't reproduce the issue on another install of the same OS, 
version, etc.. I went ahead and installed the .deb package on the 
new system and it still works.

Thanks,
