Your emerge --info shows that you are using glibc-2.4 on an x86 stable system. glibc-2.4 and gcc-4.1.1 was stabilized at the exact same time (11 days ago) so until I see proof of the opposite I am going to assume that glibc was upgraded when you recompiled with gcc-4.1.1. If you still think glibc wasn't upgraded at the same time then please emerge app-portage/genlop and show the output of: # genlop sys-libs/glibc # genlop sys-devel/gcc > > # grep -v '^$\|^#' /etc/locale.gen > > en_US ISO-8859-15 So you obviously don't want utf8. Otherwise you should add a utf8 locale to locale.gen and follow the utf8 guide. Syntax is correct btw... As long as you don't want unicode.

I manually created an 02locale file. That was a typo. I meant 02locale. Not that it really matters though... > > [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml > > I have a lot to learn. As I wrote, I took a lot for granted! AFAICT the real issue, however, seems to be the fact that sys-apps/baselayout has this code in the ebuild: src_unpack() { [...] # Setup unicode defaults for silly unicode users if use unicode ; then sed -i -e '/^UNICODE=/s:no:yes:' etc/rc.conf fi [...] } If the unicode use flag is enabled (which it is by default in the 2006.1 profiles) this enables unicode in /etc/rc.conf without taking the locale into account. That seems stupid IMO. -- Bo Andresen
