Tried sudo locate and got an error message:

'locate: `/var/db/locate.database': No such file or directory'

At any rate, gnutls is installed. And lingnutls is not installed. I looked
in the directories you mentioned, and couldn't find any libgnutls-config
files.

The version of gnutls you have installed is old; I've got 2.8.3. I read
somewhere that the whole libgnutls-config thing got depriciated since then,
so that could explain why I don't have it.

Maybe there's a way for me to get the old one?

Thanks!
