Ubuntu: Install app in usr/bin

[fivetoadsloth]

I'm trying to install a program in /usr/bin on Ubuntu 12.04. When I use sudo apt-get install program it says I have the current version, but a different program is looking for it in the usr/bin dir. How can I install it so that it can be found in the usr/bin folder?


Thanks!


EDIT:

using whereas I was able to copy the program into usr/bin. I think this is working (not sure yet). If there is a more elegant solution, I'd love to hear it.
