It's been a while since I used locate, and it should update itself regularly, but I think if you had just installed eSpeak, you may need to manually run sudo updatedb to be sure that locate's database is up-to-date. I find that a command like find / -name espeak-data works better, because it doesn't have to be updated regularly, and just looks for what you're trying to find as you try to find it. Running it as a user does cause some errors as it looks in places where regular users have no execute permission on the directories, so you may want to redirect standard error. You can run the command as sudo also, but I would think it's more secure to just redirect standard error to /dev/null, e.g. find / -name espeak-data 2>/dev/null Hope this helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
