Thank you Alexander. I asked the 'man' after I asked the question. Bad, bad, I know...
And this program was not installed as an rpm (if it was in fact installed). Is there a way to check all programs, not just rpms?
I am acually having a lot of trouble installing this program. If I can't get it done soon, I may start posting my questions. But I'd like to give google a chance to save me first!
Thank you all.

Again, "locate" or "find" will find any files that are on your computer with the supplied query. Locate requires the database to be updated which normally occurs via cron sometime overnight.
Find is current and takes more time.

Both of these methods don't care how you installed the application.
