Hello:

Sometimes in a directory I created from my home directory I get the error 
filename: not found.  Example:  I compile hello.c into hello using make 
(apparently successfully).  I then type hello at the prompt and get the 
message: "hello: not found"  I have checked various books, man pages, 
etc. and I am fairly sure I understand the basics of chmod, chown, etc.  
Can you help?

Thanks,
Gordon P. Rios
