Patti, I haven't tested this extensively with Linux but with most
flavors of Unix, whereis is principally used to find system-related
files and searches only a specified set of paths.  Thus, any specific
paths created by an rpm install aren't searched.  

Generally using "locate" (after you've run it to set up a database of
your files) is a good way to find stuff.  In Linux it seems there is
slocate from the GNU folks.
