:

if you are thinking about running programs that are compiled in linux, just exec the binary file with

1) ./program
2) /full/path/to/program

or put it in /bin or /usr/bin, and just type the name of your application

if you are thinking about running windows applications in linux, i suggest you visit www.transgaming.com and/or www.winehq.com

could you post exacly what happns here?
did you put your application in /bin or /usr/bin?

: did you put your application in /bin or /usr/bin?

you've got to be kidding ... putting any kind of test program in /bin ??? even /usr/bin would be bad (heck, /usr/local/bin too, for a mere test program), but /bin ???

so the problem is the executable is not in your shell's search path. if you want to put it in there mahe a bin dir in your home dir and drop it there (~/bin is normally in the PATH, whether it exists or not). but the best thing is to go with the initial suggestion: specify the path directly as ./test (that is, 'test' from the current directory). i'm assuming it is executable, since you said you compiled the thing.
