The binary you're attempting to start Packet Tracer from is a build artifact from building the Flatpak.

Flatpak's, once installed (as make install does), create a desktop entry. Therefore you can start Packet Tracer by looking in your start/applications menu or alternatively you can run:

flatpak run com.cisco.PacketTracer
