No one can help you without knowing what the error message was.  Just
as a guess, I'd say the error might have been "command not found", and
that was because you don't have "." in $PATH, so you need to run
./a.out instead of a.out.

This doesn't seem to be a problem with bash.  This kind of question
would be better off in a forum for general Unix help; you might look
for a local users' group in your area.
