You need to type ./ before the program name! You must read the following when
ls -l your_bin_file, for example:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 userowner group 4024 Jan 12 09:55 your_bin_file
the x flags at left indicate a executable file. If this is a binary file,
already compiled and linked, to execute type from the directory where it's
located:
./your_bin_file
and type ENTER (RETURN), if you don use ./ the system try to find your the
name you type as a binary file in $PATH.
if chmod +x don't work properly, use:
chmod 755 your_bin_file
read the flags as:
7 - permissions for the owner to read, write and execute;
5 - permissions to the group to read and execute;
5 - permissions to all to read and execute.
If I understand your prpblem, it will solve the problem!
