Typing C++ prog name at terminal prompt isn't running prog...

[LoveJones]

I am doing a little refresher self-study of C++ before school starts on Friday.

I just successfully compiled my program and renamed the output to "orc."

I am not sure if that was an important file I over-wrote, or if there is something else I am doing, because if I type "orc," at the command prompt it gives me the error that the command cannot be found.

bash: orc: command cannot be found

Or something to that effect.

I even tried renaming the output to other names and nothing works. I even compiled and let it name the file the default name "a.out" and that doesn't run either.

This is my exact syntax...

g++ orc.cpp -o orc

I have been able to run the program using gdb.

Any and all help or suggestions much appreciated. I am still pretty green to Linux so it might be a simple problem.
