There are several good ways to do it:

+ Assume the config file is in the current directory (crude, but it can
  work)

+ Put the config file in a known location (i.e. /etc/foorc, ~/.foorc)

+ Put the location of the config file in an environment variable

+ As part of your application's install process, ask the user where the
  config file will be stored, and record their answer
