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.
