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.
