OS Ubuntu 16.04

After unzipped and "make link" the posper file and Drag 'n' drop on Desktop as explained the file doe not open on doubleclick.
I open the application with right click on posper file and run Terminal but it indicates an error.
Terminal:
cat: /home/posper/posper.lck: No such file or directory
error: list of process IDs must follow -p

Usage:
ps [options]

Try 'ps --help <simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>'
or 'ps --help <s|l|o|t|m|a>'
for additional help text.</s|l|o|t|m|a></simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>

For more details see ps(1).
