    Default Problem with Compiling on mac

    Hey there!

    I've been working on a program in textedit and compiling it in the terminal. It's been a while since I've compiled anything, and when I did, and tried to run the program, I get "Campsite.java: command not found", and this is AFTER I've successfully compiled the program. Any way to solve this issue?

    What command did you use? It seems like you're forgetting to invoke the java compiler itself:

    javac Capsite.java

    Nope, I did that and it compiled successfully. Then when I try to run it, it comes out with the message I provided.

    How are you trying to run the program? Are you passing the class name to java (something like "java Campsite")?

    I am using Campsite.java to run the program, and that has always worked for me up until now.

    You don't run the .java source file, you run the outputted .class file. In any case, you shouldn't be specifying the extension.

    Hahaha, now I feel like an idiot. Thanks a lot! It's been like 4 months since I've had to do this (summer break, full time work). I seem to be a bit rusty! Thanks a million.
