Hello, Could you please decribe exactly * what you were trying to do * what exactly you tried and * quote any error messages? Just to illustrate, --localpaths (note the "s"!) seems to work exactly as described: ametzler@argenau:~$ mkdir -p /tmp/include1 /tmp/include2 && touch /tmp/include1/fil1 /tmp/include2/file2 ametzler@argenau:~$ locate --database=/tmp/foo.db '*' /tmp/include1 /tmp/include1/fil1 /tmp/include2 /tmp/include2/file2 cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure'
