Hi Jay,

If you are semi-comfortable with the shell, try the command 

which gnc-fq-update

This will give you the full path to that program, if it is in one of the 
directories that make up the $PATH environmental variable for runnable 
programs.  (it is in /usr/bin/ on my SuSE 11.4 / GC 2.4.7 system) 

HTH,
Maf.
