did you have the "./" before setiathome (ex: ./setiathome )?

I've been a member of the list for several months and I've played around
with Linix a bit longer than that. But now I'm seeing something on a new
install that I just don't understand.
I can't get a file to execute by typing its name in a Bash shell.
I have Suse 8.0 installed on a system with a 1900 XT AMD processor. I
downloaded setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar and then
unpacked it with a tar -xf command.
the file unpacked the executable, setiathome. But when I change to the
right subdirectory in a bash shell and type the name of the file, I get a
"bash: setiathome : command not found" .
I have done this before and and it worked fine. But not this time. I
don't understand why it is not working. What am I missing?
