Hi everyone,
I'm novice to bitcoin and I'm trying to compile it to study.
In Ubuntu 14 I have compiled all, and in the /usr/local/bin folder 7 files were created:
bench_bitcoin, bitcoin-cli, bitcoind, bitcoin-qt, bitcoin-tx, test_bitcoin, test_bitcoin-qt


When I click on any of them, Ubuntu displays an error: Could not display “bitcoind”. There is no application installed for “shared library” files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?


Does anybody  know how to launch these files? Thanks!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Just start them from terminal.
Type "bitcoin-qt" in the command line and it should start.

You could also create a desktop file to be able to lunch it from your desktop environment.
You just need a file in /usr/share/applications called for example bitcoin.desktop owned by root (chown 0.0 bitcoin.desktop && chmod 644 bitcoin.desktop) that looks something like this:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Bitcoin
Exec=bitcoin-qt
Icon=<location of your bitcoin source directory>/bitcoin/share/pixmaps/bitcoin128.png
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
