I took an intro programming course, but I'm new to doing this on my own.
I am running Eclipse Juno IDE for C/C++ Developers with MinGW.
For some reason, when I run the following code (from K&R) no input box shows up where I can type in my response after getchar().

#include <stdio.h>

main(){
int c;

while((c=getchar()) != EOF)
putchar(c);
}

I looked in the console build and found this message:

"c:/mingw/bin/../ld.exe: cannot open output file char.exe: Permission denied"

which I haven't gotten for anything else. Does anyone know where I can find the input prompt?
