You can copy vixDiskLibSample.cpp and its Makefile to a directory where you have write permission, or switch user to root. On some Linux systems you need to add #include statements for <stdio.h> and <string.h> after the #else clause on line 15. Type the make command to compile. Run the application:

make

./vix-disklib-sample
