I am trying to find the directory called macports by Find. I do not know where it is in my computer.
I have tried unsuccessfully
find --mindepth 777 macports
How can you find the directory?

A:
Try
find . | grep macports
From any parent directory you might think it lives in. Depending on your system you can also try
locate macports

@ojblass: what about the symlink called macfind that points to /some/obscure/location/Mac.Find?
