The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1583 Logged by: Andrew Grillet Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4.7 Operating system: FreeBSD 5.3 Description: Locale problem Details:
error message XX000: cannot assign "" to LC_messages - or something like this. The cause appears to be that line 1414 of guc.c has a null string in place of "C", at any rate, when I changed "" to "C" the problem went away. The error message was not very helpful, and there might be some way to work around this, but I couldn't find it. The work-arounds suggested by Linux people did not seem to work on FreeBSD. The locale documentation in the manual suggests that all locales listed by "locale -a" will work. I could not get en_GB or en or en_GB.ISO5589.1 to work, but all are listed by locale -a. (I dont really want locale support anyway, I just want European dates.) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
