Binaries are usually installed in a bin directory. Look in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. Maybe they're in /opt, or in another subdirectory of /usr. Try using the find command to locate one of the binaries. Once you've found out where they are, make sure they're listed on your path.

From a terminal, run commands like:
Or try find:
To check your path:
If the directory containing your binary isn't listed in your path, you can't run it with a normal run command.

Open a terminal. type in "whereis wine" or "whereis limewire" . You should get an answer as to where the program is. Then to run the program type in either "limewire", or the stuff that the whereis command tells you - "/usr/local/bin/limewire". If you are installing the Mandrake rpms for these programs then they should automatically put an entry into your menu, (for the programs that can be run that way, limewire can be, wine cannot). If there is no entry for the program then you can open Menudrake (Configuration > Other > Menudrake) and add those programs to your menu (put in the stuff that the whereis command tells you in the menu entry, or whatever command you use to run the command from the terminal).
