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.
