Tell us a bit more about how you're playing.

Are you using a project (.gpr) file? If so, and it contains e.g.

   for Object_Dir use "obj";  -- subdirectory of project directory

then any executables are created in obj/ unless you've also got

   for Exec_Dir use "bin";   -- or e.g. "." for project directory

(I find this behaviour infuriating, but there you go)
