Detect BSD Libraries installed in OSX?

[RGould8 at aol.com]

I'm afraid I'm not getting this at all (which could be due to the fact that I 
don't know unix).   I've tried the

# which which

and the 

/usr/bin/which

calls, and all I get is command not found errors.   Can you tell me more 
about what the unix command would be to determine if the BSD.pkg file exists?
