Command not found when installed new software

Hi all,

I installed a couple of games on my Mandrake 9.2 machine, America's army and the UT2004 demo, but when i type the commands to start these games it says command not found, even after the command was auto-completed by pressing tab. i cán just start the game by excecuting the file in the games directory but i'd like to make desktop shortcuts and i need to be able to excecute them using a command to do that, right?

Thanks in advance!

Chances are that the directories that these commands are in are not in the PATH.

So, to get linux to "see" these commands preface them with "./"

e.g.

./mycommand
