Try looking in /usr/local/bin.  When installing from tarball, it
doesn't install it in the same place that RPMs do.

As your regular user, type these commands.

cd
source .bash_profile

I'm assuming you're using bash.

which <app_name>

It should do a quick scan of all the paths in your $PATH, and find that
the app is going to be in /usr/local/bin.

Give that a try, I tink that will fix your problem.

As I was passing Project MAC,
I met a Quux with seven hacks.
Every hack had seven bugs;
Every bug had seven manifestations;
Every manifestation had seven symptoms.
Symptoms, manifestations, bugs, and hacks,
How many losses at Project MAC?
