The error is quite definitely being produced by the shell itself. What does “type locate” say? Does a new terminal session work correctly? You’ve evidently got a customised profile, so I’d be looking there for the culprit. M. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I found an alias left over from when I had MacPorts installed to make sure I used the locate I wanted, not something else. In simplifying I forgot all about that. It wasn't all an empty exercise; I compiled and installed Bash-4.1 because the hash apparently didn't work. Of course it did work but the alias torpedoed it, and my desires.
