Hi guys:

I have a very strange problem here.

Under Linux Mandriva Powerpack 2006, KDE

I "make" the program I wrote successfully in the terminal, without any errors. And I could see there was an executable file generated in the same folder. But when I typed in the program name, bash told me "...... command can not be found". I am wondering what is wrong with my Linux system. It worked before.

Thanks

You normally have to type in

./program_name

Rather than
program_name

For security reasons, most people avoid having "." on their PATH.
