I suppose you're trying to execute a program that you have just compiled, by writing "a.out" in a Terminal window.
If a program/command isn't in the default search folders (you can see them by typing "echo $PATH" in Terminal, separated each other by a colon) you have to provide an absolute/relative path to the program you want to run, e.g. /home/myname/a.out or ./a.out if it's in the current directory.
