Using after install

[yapyap]

Can someone explain, simply, HOW you find a program after it is installed and HOW you get it to work when, and IF you find it. e.g. Wine and Licq. I have them somewhere, occasionally find licq but simply cannot get them to work. Thanks folks.

Well its always good to run updatedb so you can type:

locate <file> | more

and find out where the files are. But cant you just type

licq

to run Licq? If you properly make and make install'ed it then you should be able to, if not something with your path variable is wrong.

If you can just type "licq", for instance, and you want to find the executable (withour searching your whole harddrive) then in a console, type $PATH and check in the directories it lists. It will likely be in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.
