This is a path problem.  For security reasons, the default path does  
not include the
current directory.  To fix this, add a line to .bash_profile containing:

export PATH = $PATH:.

and then source that file (i.e. execute)

. .bash_profile

.bash_profile is executed automatically when logging in.

You could also put this line into /etc/profile
or /etc/bashrc
