Two things, #1 -check the path, you must supply some sort of path to the
executable, #2 -check file permissions, make sure it's set to be
executable, (seeing as how this is a test executable, I suggest you
chmod 755 it).
so try this, (assuming you're in the directory that the inform file is):
chmod 755 inform
./inform
