Just tried again, with this setings: export LC_ALL=es_ES export LC_MESSAGES=es_ES export LANG=es_ES And it didn't work. > try this code... Ok. With: export LC_ALL=es_ES export LC_MESSAGES=es_ES export LANG=es_ES Everything ok. export LC_CTYPE=ISO_8859_1 export LC_MESSAGES=es_ES export LANG=es_ES With this, it doesn't work (the program). But funny, it's the only setting that lets me put accented charaters in bash... > >> But I think changing "ISO_8859_1" to "iso_8859_1" would do the > >> trick. > Try combinations, like "iso-8859-1".
