The best way I've found for finding things in my system is to cd into / then as root run du -a > mydir.txt. This will place a path to each file on one line in a text file. Now, you can just 'grep postgresql mydir.txt' to find postgresql. Mydir.txt will be a pretty big text file but it's worth it not having to wait for the alternative of using find.
