I'm working on a Debian machine with postgresql installed. I need to find **shp2pgsql** (a utility that converts shapefiles into SQL, as the name suggests).

I've seem suggestions that it's located in the bin directory of postgresql, however I don't know where to find this. I can't locate shp2pgsql through a simple find (probably much too simple, since my Unix skills are not that good):

```
$ find ~ -name 'shp2pgsql' -print
$ 

```

Any suggestions?

Thanks - apologies for the basic question!
