Your locate database probably hasn't updated itself, yet. It usually updates 
in the evening, via a cron job. If you want it to update immediately, log in 
as root, and type:

/usr/bin/slocate -c -u

Though if you want to get anything done while it's processing, you might want 
to type this instead:

nice --adjustment=+19 /usr/bin/slocate -c -u

Also, to find the location of *any* program you can execute from the command 
line, type:

which <program>
