Of course, if you don't install ruby before gegl, the problem doesn't arise. Taking a quick look at fedora, http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gegl.git/plain/gegl.spec they have: # Needed by Ruby 1.9.3. export LANG=en_US.utf8 note the lowercase, presumably both .utf8 and .UTF-8 will work in this case. > > Root (at least) here is always still non-utf8 . > The book (at least in most cases) builds as a normal user. You and I can choose to build as root if we wish, but we get to keep both pieces if it breaks. ;-) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
