C locale and error messages
If I open an rxvt window or xterm, which for me defaults to LANG=C, and do echo < foo instead of getting bash: foo: No such file or directory I get bash: foo: ?? If I set LANG to en_GB, it doesn't help. If I set LC_MESSAGES to en_GB, I then get the proper error message. If I then unset LC_MESSAGES, I continue to get a proper error message (so maybe a caching issue?) At the Linux console, I get a proper error message regardless. What is going on here? I'm using Debian unstable, but this issue has existed for a long time and is started to annoy me. Thanks, Neil. FWIW a typical "env" when getting the '?' is as follows: PWD=/home/neil COLORFGBG=15;0 WINDOWID=35651586 PAGER=jless HOSTNAME=monkey LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe '%s' '%s' LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe '%s' LV=-Or LESS=-M USER=neil MACHTYPE=i386-pc-linux-gnu [EMAIL PROTECTED] EDITOR=vi LANG=C COLORTERM=rxvt DISPLAY=:0.0 SSH_AGENT_PID=9701 SHLVL=1 LOGNAME=neil PERL_BADLANG=0 SHELL=/bin/bash HOSTTYPE=i386 OSTYPE=linux-gnu SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XX0QUFpi/agent.9667 TERM=rxvt HOME=/home/neil PATH=/home/neil/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games JLESSCHARSET=latin1 OUTPUT_CHARSET=ISO8859-1 _=/usr/bin/env

However, I still get the error message as follows: Oops. That should be "en_US". Make sure you've got wg15-locale installed too. Anyway, being in the US the default locale should work. Check what "printenv" says about your environment, and unset any of the locale variables. *Something* must be setting them, so try to find out what it is. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: "The Source will be with you... always." -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I use the tcsh shell, and couldn't find any scripts that could
possibly be setting LANG to "us". Just to be sure, I manually did 'setenv
LANG "EN_us"'. However, I still get the error message as follows:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories:
LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = (unset),
LC_COLLATE = (unset),
LANG = "EN_us"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the "C" locale.
Thanks for your help,
Corey Miller

EN_us is the closest. One of your startup scripts is setting the env. variable LANG incorrectly. IIRC StarOffice does this.

C locale
I recently installed Debian 1.3.1 and keep getting the following errors concerning the C locale. This first one is given whenever I install most debian packages (assumably the ones whose scripts use perl). perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories: LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = (unset), LC_COLLATE = (unset), LANG = "us" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the "C" locale. This one I have been getting whenever I start emacs under X windows. Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, Corey Miller --- Corey Miller "This looks like a job for . legal tender!"
