It may not be installed. Do "urpmi slocate" as root (slocate is the name of the improved command which replaces locate. However, "locate" still works because it is symlinked to the new command (symlink ~= shortcut)). Then, as root again, do "updatedb" to create the database it searches. When it has finished, try to locate something. While you're at it, install anacron, too, unless you leave your computer on 24/7. When you boot, it starts the tasks that cron didn't do whilst the PC was off. This includes an updatedb every day. -- "Get up and turn I loose"
