'whereis' only looks in the ports or the location of the executable's.
If you want to find a file you should use 'find' or locate. :
find / -name "whatever-you-re-looking-for"
or use locate, but before you can use locate you have to create the
locate database. When you search frequently it's advisable to use locate
since it's faster. Though wheter the results are acurate depends on the
last time you updated your locate database so:
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
locate whateveryourelookingfore
locate somethingelse
locate another thing
