I've recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and noticed that whenever I install any type of tar.gz software in the terminal, it says installation finished but I don't find the software.

example:

Checking dependencies
Python Version: 2.7.3
Found PyQt4
Found QtHelp
Found QScintilla2
Qt Version: 4.8.3
PyQt Version:  4.9.3
QScintilla Version:  2.6.2
All dependencies ok.

Compiling user interface files...
Compiling source files...
Installing eric4 ...
Installation complete.

I've tried installing several tar.gz files but it just doesn't appear in my software list even if I search for it the , it just isn't there.

    What and how are you installing this software? – Uri Herrera Oct 23 '12 at 14:15

    Software installed via tarballs does not get integrated into the package system which Ubuntu normally uses to index the software. Also, for installing eric I would simply install it from the software centre or via "apt-get install eric" – arand Oct 23 '12 at 14:25
