In Unix, the executable programs aren't searched for in the current directory, to avoid security risks due to inadvertently running the wrong program.

You have to do e.g.

cc pgm.c -o pgm
./pgm

to run your program (./ specifically asks to run the executable in the current directory, it doesn't rely on the shell searching for a program called pgm).
