locate: command not found (slocate database needed)

For some versions especially older ones like 3.x they might not have the "slocate" database.

Meaning a "locate somefile" command doesn't work.

Just install "slocate"

[code:1:d6d717421c]yum install slocate[/code:1:d6d717421c]

Then run:

[code:1:d6d717421c]updatedb[/code:1:d6d717421c]

And you're good to go :)
