Anybody have a good suggestions for a file search tool for RHEL/CentOS

Following up my own post, almost *all* of them started a dependency hell
chain for me. I'm running CentOS 5 (RHEL 5 equivalent).
I settled on Tracker:
http://www.gnome.org/projects/tracker/
It had only one extra dependency that CentOS couldn't fulfill: gmime.
Of course, none of the gmime RPM's did the right thing and updated the
pkg-config database. Sigh.
So I had to hand compile gmime, hand update the pkg-config database, and
then I hand compiled Tracker.
Seems to work well enough for my taste. I avoid Mono. I avoid having
to download 18 gazillion RPM's and test them for compatibility (gtkmm?
atkmm, pangomm, etc. Look, folks, if you're doing a GUI interface
*DON'T USE C/C++*--especially C++. Jeebus. Use Lisp, Ruby, Tcl,
Haskell, Python, etc. *ANYTHING* other than C/C++)
We'll see if it still fits my needs after using it a while in anger.
