In local.freebsd-questions you write: >Hello! There, > The utility "locate" is very handy and easy to install in FreeBSD. I am "Easy to install" ? It is in the base system.... :-) >wondering how to install the locate utility in Solaris2.6? If anybody knows >how, please let me know! It is part of GNU findutils, so you could try something like this: Get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/findutils/findutils-4.1.tar.gz Unpack ./configure; make; make install Add a line to a suitable crontab, to run periodically "updatedb" Requires a working compiler and some basic development tools, of course. Also <http://www.sunfreeware.com>; has a bunch of pre-compiled packages for different versions of Solaris. /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
