where are MacPorts binary files?

I am trying to use the ant rpm task to build a Linux installer on Mac OSX.

I installed MacPorts and compiled rpm which now works from the command line.

However, I would like it to work with ant (from inside Eclipse), but ant cannot find any rpm executable. In fact, whereis rpm does not find it either. Confused..

I also tried to create a separate rpm binary installer using macports (sudo port pkg rpm), but after installing that one nothing changed.

Where is the rpm binary?

MacPorts binaries can be found in /opt/local/bin.

According to the man page, whereis only searches directories contained in the user.cs_path sysctl variable (at least on OS X). This value defaults to /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin on my machine.
