The first word of a command line, besides some exceptions, should be
the name of a program or the name of an internal shell command. To
enter a directory, use 'cd /usr/share/doc/rutebook' (cd is an internal
shell command). A directory name by itself is not a valid command in
bash, though it is in some other shells which assume an implicit cd in
such case.

In Gnome you could also say 'gnome-open /usr/share/doc/rutebook' to
invoke the default GUI action associated with the object, here a
directory, which would be opened in Nautilus.
