There's really nothing special in the Elisp, so it should work. I use
Gnu Emacs 21.4 on linux. Does locate work for you on the command line?

Maybe it's a local problem on your side.

Has anyone else here tried it? If so did it work for you seamlessly?

I didn't know about gse-locate, so I can't tell it right now.

Looking at the code I'd say gse-locate doesn't update the list of
matching files dynamically as you're typing the pattern while mine
does.
