I don't know where they are installed/located. The software manager application does not tell me. It simply installs them.

juni at juni ~ $ find /usr -name fp
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic-pae/include/config/have/function/graph/fp
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic-pae/include/config/have/function/graph/fp
/usr/bin/fp

cd /usr/bin
fp

and success. fp ide is correcting running. Thank you, Mark. 

Now that wasn't so hard after all, was it folks. I was it like pulling teeth? You decide.
