How to check the location of installed files when using Installer on Mac 10.6.7

I am installing a C++ library using the Installer application(its a .mpkg file) The installation is successful, but I cannot find the location of the library to set an environmental variable. I have checked the /private/var/log/install.log, but the destination folder is not listed. Is there another log I can check, or a way to determine the installation destination through the .mpkg? Thank you very much for your time, Adam

Solution 1:

Simply open the package with the standard OS X Installer, and hit ⌘I (or through menus: File>Show files).

For more information or to act upon the files, use the excellent Pacifist package manager.

Solution 2:

Use pkgutil --pkg-info packageid and look for the listed "location" to see where the installation root was; then pkgutil --files packageid will show the installed files relative to that root location.
