This is probably because your path does not include the current
directory, which is common practice in the interest of security.
Try:

  ./hello

instead.

[In the future, you'll probably be better served if you subscribe to
a general Unix programming newsgroup or mailing list for this sort
of questions.  In fact, I'd be surprised if this isn't a FAQ on
comp.unix.programmer.]
