then u have to do the following
1. cd to the directory
2. chmod u+x <executable name>
3. run-standalone.sh <executable name>

if u want to run it thru an icon in the menu

1.create a <exec.name>.desktop file in "/usr/share/applications/hildon/"
2.the <exec name>.desktop should contain

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=(name as it wud be in the menu)
Exec=(full path to the executable eg. /usr/bin/blabla)
Icon=(if any)

3. cd to the directory
4. chmod u+x <executable name>
5. goto the menu click on the new icon with the name u have given
6. log on to maemo.org ,post "IT WORKS!" in this post and thank all those who helped you.

p.s. the sixth step is optional :P
