Under Linux (with its messed up file system hierarchy - user programs mixed with system programs) that might work, but under FreeBSD (and probably other *nix-type OSes too) it will most likely be located in /usr/local/bin. The same for the system wide fpc.cfg - under FreeBSD it will be in /usr/local/etc/fpc.cfg But that is no guarantee either. I for example always use the official FPC installer, which means I can install to any location I have write access too (all without root privileges), so I often install FPC into my $HOME directory. Maybe it is best to first see if you can retrieve the location via 'which fpc'. If it is not found, then look in some hard-coded locations. If still not found, them prompt the user for the path.
