A weird error I don't understand.

Sir Mr Bman (6)
I am getting the weirdest error ever when compiling my code. I am using the Eclipse compiler (I find it works very well, don't judge). Here is the code I am running (NOTE: It doesnt matter on the program, I just included the one I am running for testing purposes):

//Check whether game is over
bool gameover()

		}
		else
		{
			over = false;
		}
	}

}

And here is my error:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/4.7.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file TestOfTicTacToe.exe: Permission denied
I cannot figure it out. HELP!

I checked: Windows 7 64 bit OS. I have GCC 4.7.0 installed CORRECTLY (Acording to my TEACHERS directions!). It also happens when I write a program on Ubuntu. Help?

In what directory is supposed to be the executable ? Windows require administrator privileges to write in some locations.

Is the executable already running ? If yes, then this is normal. Check task manager and close the process first.
