Yes, I too did this the first time I tried compiling a test progrm on
a UNIX system.  Unfortunately, there was not one around to help me.
I have since converted to exp for my "experiments" to avoid the
problem, but before I did that I discovered if you have an executable
in your current directory named test you can execute it using the
command 

$ ./test

Good Luck.
