If this is an Ubuntu or a Debian based system, a simple sudo apt-get install icecast2 should install the server for you without polluting your system. The configuration file is usually in /etc/. If it is Debian or Ubuntu, doing a dpkg -L icecast2 | grep etc after installing should show you the config files. Fire up an editor, edit them and then restart the service.
