I have installed xfig on my computer(MacOSX) but in order to complete the instalation I need a make install inside the source directory of xfig. I used the command

whereis xfig

in order to find the path of the source of xfig (as I cannot find it otherwise) but when I type this command I get no answer as i.e:

hcp249:~ madalinahodorog$ whereis xfig
hcp249:~ madalinahodorog$

why dont I get some answer? how can I find the path to the source of xfig?

thank you in advance, madalina
