"Configuring squidGuard is very straight-forward. The default location for the block lists is /usr/local/squidGuard/db/. Each category is located in a different directory. Currently, the categories available are ads, aggresive, audio-video, drugs, gambling, hacking, porn, violence, and warez. The configure file is /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf."

Seek and you will find. Most open source apps have good instructions on their websites for installing and configuring the apps. "man <app name>" is also a good place to look as well

when you installed it, where did you direct it to go?

try
slocate squidGuard | grep db
or squidguard, it's case sensitive
from the terminal

i have installed it with the following commands

[root@Guard root]# cd squidGuard-1.2.0

[root@Guard squidGuard-1.2.0]# ./configure

make

make install

after "make install" this message shows by the OS..

(making install.bin in squidGuard-1.2.0
cd src && make install.bin
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/squidGuard-1.2.0/src'
making install.bin in src
/usr/bin/install -c squidGuard /usr/local/bin/squidGuard
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/squidGuard-1.2.0/src'
making install in squidGuard-1.2.0)

check /usr/local/bin/squidguard for a config file. there should be a sample one in there for you to edit

perhaps you should uninstall it and reinstall it following the instructions, if there is no squidguard dir in /usr/local/

It looks like you can set some flags during install
