You should run './qhdiv0.e', then. This explicitly includes the
location of the binary (the current directory), which avoids user
confusion. Putting . into PATH is considered by many to be a poor
idea.

PATH is generally set in .bashrc or .bash_profile. To add a personal
binary directory to the path, you might add 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin' to
an appropriate one of those files. See bash(1) (or archives of
debian-user, if you're so inspired) for the difference.
