This is usualy caused by bash not being able to find an executable with
that name in the $PATH.  There are a few things you can do.

Run it explicitly with sh:

[root@localhost sm56]# sh srcprep

Run it by pathing it localy:

[root@localhost sm56]# ./srcprep

Run it by pathing it absolutely:

[root@localhost sm56]# /root/sm56/srcprep

Add /root/sm56 to your PATH first:
for root):

[root@localhost sm56]# export PATH="$PATH:/root/sm56"
[root@localhost sm56]# srcprep

or:

[root@localhost sm56]# PATH="$PATH:/root/sm56" srcprep

Lastly, add '.' to your PATH first (I don't recommend this, especially so 
for root):

[root@localhost sm56]# export PATH="$PATH:."
[root@localhost sm56]# srcprep



hth,

Kyle
