Strange characters on gcc output

[Jeff]

I'm using PuTTY to connect to my ubuntu 5.10 (breezy) box and when I compile
I get characters in the output, almost like its supposed to be colored.

Like this, adds an â around the error
mc.c:3442: error: âwordâ undeclared (first use in this function)

Anyone know how to turn this off or fix it?

Thanks
Jeff
