Locales are searched for in /usr/share/locales, and there is no locale en_US. The next closest locale would be en_US.US-ASCII. You could make a Symlink to en_US, but that's an ugly hack, of course. :-) Better set your locale environment to one of the existing locales. You can do that globally via /etc/login.conf, or just for yourself in your shell's login profikle/script. Another thing - as I look in /etc/login.conf, I DO have a Russian entry. Why? Those are just examples. So, if I do need to create an entry in the login.con file, what is the charset that I define? Depends on what charset you want. :-) On my local machine here, I changed the default entr (at the very beginning) to look like this: default:\ :passwd_format=md5:\ :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ :welcome=/etc/motd:\ :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-1:\ ...etc... i.e. I set the default to German locale with ISO8859-1 charset (that's because all users on that machine are German anyway). Also, I set only LC_CTYPE to get the character set support, but none of the other locale variables, to avoid nasty surprises. If you just want an US-ASCII character set, use the en_US.US-ASCII locale instead. See /usr/share/locale for all locales that are supported. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

locale questions
Hi folks, Okay, OpenOffice 2.0 is now spewing out the error message: I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale en_US Hmmm. So, from what I understand from the documentation I have looked at, this is because I do not have an entry in the /etc/ login.conf file covering this entry. Yes/no? Another thing - as I look in /etc/login.conf, I DO have a Russian entry. Why? I assume this is a default, since I have not done anything to /etc/login.conf previously. So, if I do need to create an entry in the login.con file, what is the charset that I define? Thank you, Bruce -- I like bad!

Sorry, I don't know, but you can also define the cahrset and lang variables in your tcshrc, cshrc or bashrc (depends on the used shell). Another thing - as I look in /etc/login.conf, I DO have a Russian entry. Why? I assume this is a default, since I have not done anything to /etc/login.conf previously. Yes, you have a Russian entry in the login.conf - why not? In the login.conf you can define several login classes and in the fifth column of the master.passwd you can specify the login class for each user. If no login class is specifed the login class default is used.
