That sounds wrong - ISO885915@euro is not a language. The LANG and LC_ variables are mostly in the form language (lowercase, usually two letters), underscore, country code (uppercase, usually two letters), dot, encoding (ISO-8859-1..15, UTF-8, and a few others) and optionally an '@something' modifier such as '@euro'. The exceptions include C and POSIX which glibc knows about even without installing locales. My general recommendation is that people should use UTF-8, to be able to render any character which their font supports. But if you have a lot of files using ISO-8859-15, or correspond with people who also use 8859-15, then I can see reasons to use that encoding. I was going to say "Try LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-15@euro - you probably need to set UNICODE=0 with that." but now that I've read the detail of what you tried in 'vim' I don't think you need to use that legacy encoding. > I have tried several combinations in my /etc/sysconfig/console: > UNICODE=1 > KEYMAP=es > KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS="euro2" > FONT="lat0-16 -m 8859-15" > > I can see the ñ, ¡, ? and the € in my console, I cannot see accented spanish > character, á, é, í, ó, ú. I was going to offer this suggestion as an alternative, but I think it will probably do what you need: with those settings in /etc/sysconfig/console (particularly UNICODE=1) I suggest you try LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 NB the @euro modifier doesn't apply to es_ES.UTF-8 altohugh it is required for es_ES.ISO-8859-15@euro. The KEYMAP_CORRECTIONS adds to the console keymap and should give you the euro and cent symbols on AltGr-e and AltGr-c. > > > the LFS-bootschript included the /etc/rc.d/init.d/console, which installed > the following: > /etc/sysconfig/console? > > I compiled Linux-3.13.3 against the following: make LANG=ISO885915@euro > LC_ALL= menuconfig > Again, that is not a valid LANG specification.

When you build the kernel, the language setting in your environment might allow you to get translations of the warnings and any error messages from 'make'. But the kernel messages are all in English, and it relies on userspace (glibc) to handle languages. > > Let me see i you need more output to help me solve my problem. > -- > http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
