executable from gfortran compile will not execute??

ok then run

./xhello

Does it run?

Well, no-- "...invoking the binary name gives "xhello: command not found"
"ls -al" says an executable file by the name of "xhello" is present in the . directory, but the command "xhello" will not execute the file. Ubuntu's execution procedure, apparently, cannot locate the executable file which is present in the current directory.

The compiler will build both 32-bit and 64-bit versions have you built the correct version for your OS?

You may need to install additional packages see here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingCompilers

I have tried specifying "-m32" as advised in the "InstallingCompilers" page
you suggest-- here is what hapens:

sam@Quercus:~/Projects/Tools/Fortran$ gfortran -o -m32 xhello Hello.f90
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: 32
Supported emulations: elf_i386 i386linux elf32_x86_64 elf_x86_64 elf_l1om
elf_k1om
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

"-m32" is apparently not recognized as directive to build code for a 32-bit
CPU. I can find no reference to to a "-m____" option in the gfortran or gcc
docs-- can you help?
I have also installed the relevant multilibs. The page says to install
libraries whose name begins "lib32....". Ubuntu software center does not
find any such-- but many beginning "lib64..."

I have found "-m32" as a directive to gcc, but it is not accepted for a call to gfortran. Since gfortran is a subset of gcc, maybe there is a way to specify -m32 to gcc when calling via gfortran?? Anyone got an idea on this??

Found it-- stupid mistake! Thanks everyone!
