An easy way to find an executable on any *nix system is to use the 'which' command. You can also use 'locate', but that output is a tad more clumsy to sort through.
ie. On my CentOS 6.5 box: [tate@80-5497 ~]$ which xastir /usr/local/bin/xastir Locate returns the location of any file or directory name that includes "xastir" - quite the list, special if you've the sources. But, looking through there, I do eventually find /usr/local/bin/xastir listed as well. Another cool command is 'apropos' - Lets say I walk up to an unfamiliar system. "Self", I ask, "Is there anything on this box associated with APRS?" Well, I just run 'apropos aprs' and see what I get. [tate@80-5497 ~]$ apropos aprs APR::IpSubnet (3pm) - Perl API for accessing APRs ip_subnet structures callpass (1) - generate Pass-code associated with your callsign for authentication via xastir to APRS(tm) network xastir_udp_client (1) - send simple messages to xastir for APRS(tm) network Xastir [xastir] (1) - graphical application that interfaces HAM radio and APRS(tm) internet access to real-time mapping software Cool - the first result isn't appropriate - but there are 3 toys installed I can enjoy.
