There are two possibilities:  One possibility is that the
directory that you have put the executable in is not in your PATH, in
which case you will always have to type ./<executable name>.  Another
possibility is that this directory is in your PATH, but not in the
hash table since you put it after the shell was started.  In this
case, you need only to execute 'rehash' and the executable should be
available without typing any path info.
