Hi Anthony,

chmod +x isn't necessary here. Doesn't make any difference in the result.

spa_tester.c calls the spa_calculate() function, but the body of the
spa_calculate() function is in spa.c. You need to compile both files
together, like so:
$ cc -o spa_tester spa_tester.c spa.c -lm
This is basically shorthand for the following:
$ cc -c spa_tester.c
$ cc -c spa.c
$ ld -o spa_tester -lm spa.o spa_tester.o
This article might be a helpful explanation of what these operations mean:
