either that, or your locate database hasn't gotten updated properly 
since you installed it. the menu is built by default, not sure why it 
wouldn't build or install.  try it again, with a clean tree, and pay 
special attention to configure and make output (make sure configure says 
it's being built, and make sure 'make' goes into modules/menu/ when 
building).
