If you make a folder in your home directory called bin (NOT .bin just
bin) end shift your compiled/linked executable into there, it should run
from the command line. Works for me with progs I've written in C++ and
bash scripts.
You can be in the same directory as the program executable and
type ./executable
Otherwise Ubuntu only executes anything listed in PATH
try
echo $PATH
to see what's in there.
Hope I've got all that correct.
