I am new (Day 2) and of course already can't solve this problem!!!! I am using "C++ For Dummies 3rd edition" and the first... VERY FIRST project and I already have a problem. Every time I try to build and run

C++
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}



It Returns

-------------- Run: Debug in SayHello (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

Checking for existence: /home/coldavian/C++/CPP_AIO/BookI/Chapter02/SayHello/bin/Debug/SayHello
Executing: xterm -T SayHello -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. /home/coldavian/C++/CPP_AIO/BookI/Chapter02/SayHello/bin/Debug/SayHello  (in /home/coldavian/C++/CPP_AIO/BookI/Chapter02/SayHello/.)
Process terminated with status -1 (0 minute(s), 0 second(s))



And it won't run. I use Linux PLEASE HELP!

(EDIT)

I ran and debug and I also got this information if it is helpful:

That looks to be the problem. Try running it in a simple console window.

Thank You!! I just had to type in console:
sudo apt-get install xterm

Programming is like a hurdle run. The real problems occur when the hurdle is too high. Learn to fight them down. ;-)

I have gotten so far into coding and its only been since July 16! I have already decided to take it on as a career! Thanks for helping me with my first problem ;p ! Good luck to all

SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL XTERM
Terminal it uses :p or just change it to what you want in settings
