Example:
locate java | less

If you then either use the down arrow or keep pushing Enter, the page will scroll down in a more controllable manner - just hit the q key to exit.

372873 2005-07-17 10:50:00 Had a look around for the error I was getting, so far no real answers, or none that work anyway.
Seems to revolve around libsSDL-mixer... any idea what they do?
Have uninstalled GL-117 anyway...
Maybe in FC5 :D
Time for CSI :cool:

Locate is the fastest way to find filenames, but it looks in a database that may not be updated daily. In my experience, it will not find files that you installed recently.

You can update the database manually (/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb ?), or change the frequency of updates (somewhere in /etc/periodic).

372876 2005-07-17 11:46:00 Seems to revolve around libsSDL-mixer... any idea what they do?SDL_mixer Documentation (jcatki.no-ip.org). libs indicates library files.

As vinref mentions, a newly installed file might not be located by "locate". You can as root just run the command updatedb to manually update the database. It takes a minute or two sometimes to complete.

372877 2005-07-17 12:58:00 Had another play round....
Went to homepage of SDL, and downloaded and installed there RPM...
Now I get this:

Info: Found gl-117 data directory /usr/share/gl-117
Info: Startup gl-117, V1.3 ...
Info: Loading /home/tazzy/.gl-117/conf
Info: Saving /home/tazzy/.gl-117/conf

Warning: Could not load saves/pilots
Warning: Could not load pilot
Info: Using SDL and GLUT
Info: Using SDL_mixer
Fatal: Cannot open winner.s3m: Unrecognized music format

Ok looking better, can anyone give me ideas about this error... (I will look properly tomorrow but ideas would be helpful)
BTW I have Kaffeine (Xine) installed, as well as Xmms....
Would a codec for either of those help.... any idea where to get one?
Incidentally s3m I believe is a music sampler file?
