Thanks for all your sympathy. Special thanks to Kim-- her following tips did the
trick.
mkdir /usr/var
Create the database of file names. The script does not come with cygwin.
Edit for your path, etc.
You may need to do specify a "usual" database named locatedb. Otherwise the
script just creates a database named @LOCATE_DB@ and may not put it in the directory
you want it in! something like:
sh bin/updatedb.sh --output=/usr/var/locatedb
shazam.
