I'm absolutly sure, you typed the command line wrongly. If you are on an
linux box (what else ;-) use the following command lines _without_ the
quotes:

To compile IDEA:

    "gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o idea idea.c"

To compile RSA:

    "gcc -Wall -O2 -shared -fPIC -o rsa rsa.c"

Be sure you type the command lines exactly as described above. It looks
like that you forgotten to type a minus sign the last time you tried.
Please note, as always: case matters!

You will see some warning messages when you compile the two modules. You
can simple ignore them. These are only warning. These are for developers
only. The compiler thinks, their could be some problems with the source,
but the compiler is wrong. ;-) Just trust the developer of the source and
ignore these warnings. ;-)

It is very important to use the correct command line. Minor changes in the
command line result in a totally different result. Just as anything on
Linux. ;-)
