try `./hello` - If you are working as root (everyone says that is a Bad
Thing (tm)), the current directory is not in the path. If you are working
as your normal user (Good Thing (tm)), then I would suggest you bash (no
pun intended) me in the head and say "Get outta the way! I'll ask a real
guru."  
Another thing to check, make sure it has executable permissions.
(r-xr-xr-x) or the like.

Good Luck,
