you can try this.

(you might need to do 'updatedb' as root first)
locate file_name

whereis app

it might be in /etc/init.d/

that's the only 3 things i can think of.
hopefully that helps you.

you could look at the makefile to see the instructions for where it is to be installed. eg:

[code:1]
INSTALL = /usr//bin/install -c -p
INSTALL_PROGRAM = ${INSTALL} $(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) $(AM_INSTALL_PROGRAM_FLAGS)
INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644
INSTALL_SCRIPT = ${INSTALL}
[/code:1]

note, some programs only require a binary file to run properly, and thus dont need a folder to store all config stuff etc. it could be a single file in /usr/bin, with all config stuff stored in your home directory (such as $HOME/.application).
