the exact same thing works under windows xp.
do i have to compile it with locale support?
No. You have to choose a locale name that is supported by your
operating system (which appears to be FreeBSD). Read your OS
documentation for what valid locale names are; most likely,
"en_US" or "en_US.ISO-8859-1" are supported.
also my second question. once i have this working how do i set the
thousands_sep character to be a "," ?
You don't directly set it. It is a property of the locale.
