If you are still in the directory you compiled it in try running it as
follows "./filename" That will run it if you are in the same directory
you compiled in. I suspect the problem you are seeing is because the
directory you compiled in is not included in your environment's path
variable.
Secondly, did you compile properly, i.e "gcc filename.c -o filename".
If not, look for a file called 'a.out', which you could then run by
typing './a.out'
