Re: first program

that means you don't have current directory specified in
PATH environment variable.
try
$echo $PATH
if there is no '.' in there, it means you're not including current
directory, so you should type
$export PATH=.:$PATH
(in bash or zsh)
and you can go
$which hello
the result expected is './hello'
hope this help
