The "which" command does only look into the directories specified in the 
PATH environment variable. So if your binary is installed under 
/usr/local/sbin -- which usually is the default, if you run configure 
without arguments -- and /usr/local/sbin is not in your PATH it will not 
find your binary. And usually only root has the sbin directories in the 
PATH.

You could have found it with the "whereis" command which does not use the 
PATH environment variable but looks in "standard places" which include 
/usr/local/sbin.
