> bash: programname: command not found

Have you tried this syntax:

./programname

If the local directory (.) isn't in your command path, you'll have to
preface programs with ./

The command path is contained in the environment variable $PATH, which is
usually set in /etc/profile. Each directory is separated with a colon. If
the local directory (a period) isn't in there, you'll need to add it, and
then log in again.

Note that simply installing SVGAlib wouldn't have made this switch to your
system. You must have done something else also.
