This is driving me nuts. Objective: Specify a locale value which:
- Renders standard shell output properly. - Supports international (iso-8859-1 aka latin-1) charactersets. - Is supported by common text-mode utilities such as vim, mutt, tin, and w3m. - Doesn't cause Perl to choke. My current setting of LANG=en_US fails on the last three points. International characters under mutt and other utilities appear as octal representations. Perl reports that the locale is not supported: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en-US" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). I've run /usr/sbin/locale-gen as root. Checked FAQs and manpages. Google turns up little of help, though there appears to be mention of this problem on Debian lists. Anyone? I mean, just shoot me now if I'm being stupid or something. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
