 : Every time I try to execute a binary from the bash prompt I get this
 : message:
 : 
 : bash: ./filename: file not found

Two possibilities:

1. The execute bit isn't set on this file.  Try

    $ chmod ugo+rx filename

and then try ./filename again.

2. The permissions on the directory are wrong.  If the file is in the
   directory /usr/local/some/dir then try

    $ cd /usr/local/some
    $ chmod ugo+wrx dir
    $ cd dir
    $ ./filename
