how do you find where the executable for an application is located?

At the command line type "locate nameofapplication" (w/out the quotes) .. most apps install their binaries to /usr/bin or usr/local/bin. You may need to su and do a updatedb before trying to 'locate' in order to update the slocate database if it is something you just installed as the slocate database is updated by crond nightly.

Also if you compiled an app form source you can usually just type the program's name in the CLI or a terminal
