Hi

When developing, always run from a terminal, if you straight from an associated
double click, your program may do nothing, and you won't know why.

You can set associations, just like windows, but I'm not at a linux box at the
moment, and I can't remember the exact procedure.

What I tend to do, is create a new application on the desktop (right click
on the desktop), set all the bits and pieces, and off it goes. I have the
option of getting it to run in a terminal from here too.

Put 

TERM=ansi
export $TERM 

in .profile (its in your home directory), and also try TERM=linux (don't
know why xterm doesn't work on yours, works fine on mine, but then I use
SuSE 9.1, which as everyone knows is far superior to any other distribution
out there smile
