HP-UX

hello,

Does anyone know where i can get a version of 'slocate' for hp-ux (11i v1). I like it on linux but can find a depot for hp-ux. Dont want to compile it on a work machine...

thanks!

Did you check this thread?

yes I have thanks. I'm aware of these site.

Really want slocate!!

Slocate is part of the GNU FindUtils package. The FindUtils 4.2.2 is available on HP Porting and Archive pages.

I know that when I searched for slocate on those pages, it came up empty. However, once I realized that it was part of the GNU utilities, I just had to find which one it was in and then search for that one. Be aware that the findutils package includes the GNU Find and XARGS programs as well.

FindUtils contains find, locate, updatedb, and xargs. But no slocate.

Thanx for setting me straight about slocate. Because many Linux boxes use locate as an alias for slocate, I thought that my Unix box did the same. I was wrong.

I can not find any binary depot for slocate. You may have to end up compiling it or settle for locate.

hello,

Thanks for clarifying this for me. Looks like I was barking up the wrong tree. It might be worth compiling it myself then. Maybe I could even make a depot.

Thanks for the advice.
