First of all, unlike DOS, bash does not search the current directory
for executable files. In other words,

gm

will ONLY search for gm on the PATH, while

./gm

will execute gm in the current directory.

Secondly, you need to make sure gm executable has "execute" flag, i.e.
the output of

ls -al

should look kind of like:

[root at trigger gm]# ls -al
total 3784
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  root      4096 Sep 23 15:04 .
drwxrwxr-x  6 mitka apache    4096 Sep 23 15:04 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root      5295 May 28 21:02 delegates.mgk
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  root   3837376 May 29 22:41 gm

Note those x'es in the first column.
