Maybe this belongs in the Linux forum, I'm not sure but......

I have Redhat 7.2 and am a total Linux newbie, but I have done a little bit w/ Unix. I wanted to test the gcc compiler. I made a basic little C program and compiled it w/ the command:
gcc hello.c -o hello
I've also tried other compile statements found on gcc tutorial pages. With all of them, I get no compiler errors, and it makes a "hello" file that shows up as an executable (green w/ ls). However, whenever I run it, it says something like "bash: command "hello" not found" or something like that. I then installed the new GCC 3.0.4, and get the same problem. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Its got to be something stupid. Thanks in advance.
 
Ok guys, figured it out myself.....gotta say ./hello instead of just hello....last time I used command prompt was the DOS days so...
