cpan> locate -u
Unknown shell command 'locate -u'. Type ? for help.

thanks in advance

You need to run locate -u in the linux shell not the cpan shell

hi
i try it on linux prompt too
but then it does nothing and cursor moves to next line

any other solution!!!



thanks for reply

what are you trying to locate?

locate -u just creates a locate database that helps with debuggin of installation issues, it does not output anything by itself.

hiii....
i m in scratch_installation phase 3.2 and doing 10th step where i have to replace the
0.09 version of MySQL.pm with the 0.08 version which is MySQL 4.0.X compatible:
i followed these steps....
cpan
- install O/OY/OYAMA/Net-MySQL-0.08.tar.gz
or you can use the version included with the astguiclient release:
- locate -u

but when i am using locate -u command an error occured....
cpan> locate -u
Unknown shell command 'locate -u'. Type ? for help.
plzzz help me out...

you do not have to run locate -u if the Net::MySQL 0.08 installed properly then you are ok.

Please list the packages you selected when you installed Slackware initially.

does cpan work if you just type "cpan"?

hi sir

we give full install option while installing slackware.(acc. to scratch install)
also by giving CPAN in cmd prompt.
it shows same error

please help
