executable program file in linux

I have tried to compile an executable program using fortran g77. When I compile the program this message appears:

g77 -c -O2 mlem1.f
g77 -c -O2 ml_subs1.f
g77 -o mlem1 -O2 mlem1.o ml_subs1.o
rm -f /home/richard7893/bin/mlem1
mv mlem1 /home/richard7893/bin/mlem1
mv: cannot move `mlem1' to `/home/richard7893/bin/mlem1': No such file or directory
make: *** [mlem1] Error 1

I find the executable in the current directory that I am woking in however.

Must I create a bin directory, so this error message does not appear? The executable program can run despite the error message

You only need to create a directory if you WANT a directory. If the /home/richard7893/bin directory isn't there, then you can either create it, or move the file to a different location that DOES exist.
