I am not familiar with build. However, if build is in the current
directory, and the current directory is not in your path, you can
not run it. Unlike dos, unix systems will not look in the current
directory for a file. It only uses the PATH. In order to get around
this, you can append "." to your PATH variable, to search whatever
directory you are in. the superuser (root) should never have
this in his/her path, as it invites security problems. However,
normal users typically do. the workaround is to use "./build",
rather than "build".
"build" says: execute the first occurrence of the file called
build which you find in my PATH.
"./build" says: execute the first occurence of ./build you find,
which will execute build in your current directory.
Hope this helps,
