Traditionally the bulk of rpms end up in /usr, /usr/local is where you put stuff
you install while /usr/src is where you place the source for stuff you install.
there is also /opt which sometimes has a symplic link back to somewhere with
more space such as /usr.
Hope that helps a little bit. The key is to place a symbolic link to your
program in a directory that is on your path. Check your path by typing:
echo $PATH.
