Your locate database probably hasn't updated itself, yet. It usually updates in the evening, via a cron job. If you want it to update immediately, log in as root, and type: /usr/bin/slocate -c -u Though if you want to get anything done while it's processing, you might want to type this instead: nice --adjustment=+19 /usr/bin/slocate -c -u Also, to find the location of *any* program you can execute from the command line, type: which <program> --Joel
