The current directory is not (usually) in your path so you need to specify ./"someprogram" to run it.
When you are compiling source code, remember the holy trinity. $./configure (any relevant parameters) $make #make install If you read the README file in gwebdec-0.24.1.tar.gz it tells you to run make and not MAKEFILE. Then you change to root and run #make install This is apparently "one size fits all" kind of program so no configure is necessary. It's generally a good idea to read the README or INSTALL files that are included with source code. That will save you a lot of grief in the future. Cheers, Jonathan
