i would like to update slocate to 2.5 as listed at http://www.geekreview.org/slocate/ however i cant find an rpm for redhate with that version. i have never used a source rpm. what should i do now. what i am trying to accomplish is searching through multiple directories for files, whose filenames match a regular expression. overall it is about 10,000 files that will be looked at. i want this to happen quickly as i will be returning a web page based on the search results. if their is a better tool to use than slocate, i am open to that also. thanks randy here is the version of slocate Secure Locate v2.4 - Released November 28, 2000 here is the error message slocate fluky bug found! Ack! This shouldn't happen unless you have a path over 4096!
