Hi Landon,

The command you use to "compile" your code looks confusing to me.
AFAIK, valac will compile your vala source code to a binary executable,
therefore I don't understand why you give it the extension *.vala .

What happens if you just run the executable like this:

./test_geospatial_annotations.vala
