    Problem on lacate command

    Hi to All,

    I have installed Red Hat enterprise Linux 5.4.

    1) I am logged as root
    2) If I try to execute from terminal the command locate, for example
    locate vi or locate cu
    this message is displayed:
    locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory
    Can You help me?

    Thank You and Best regards

    Gaetano

    Have you built the locate database? Try running
    Code:
    #updatedb
    and then run your locate command again.
