Yes I have xlib6g 3.3.2.3a-11, my locale.alias file has exactly that lines (concerning the Portuguese language). I also took a look on two other files on the same directory: compose.dir and locale.dir. Both didn't mention pt_BR, only pt_PT. Then I decided to add to them the lines: In compose.dir: iso8859-1/Compose pt_BR.ISO8859-1 In locale.dir iso8859-1/XLC_LOCALE pt_BR.ISO8859-1 After these slight modifications WPrefs and some other X applications (like xterm) stopped complaining. I really don't know how to face this. Doesn't X support pt_BR (only pt_PT) or this is a bug I should warn someone? Thanks again, Paulo. -- Paulo José da Silva e Silva PH.D.

Make sure you're using the latest version of the slink xlib6g package. The version number is 3.3.2.3a-11. For a while the locale and NLS data got caught in limbo, but that problem was solved months ago. My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias file has the following lines (among many others): pt pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_BR pt_BR.ISO8859-1 pt_PT pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.88591.en pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.iso88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.ISO_8859-1pt_PT.ISO8859-1 portuguese_brazil.8859 pt_BR.ISO8859-1 portuguese.iso88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 locale.alias is not a conffile, so yours should have these exact same lines. If you don't, or if the file doesn't exist, that may explain the problem. Reinstall xlib6g. -- G.

X & locales problems.
Hello, I have a slink/hamm mixed system (my slink cd's are on their way). I am having some problems with locale and X. For example, when I run WPrefs I get the following error message: WPrefs warning: X server does not support locale Them some complaining about fonts (and WPrefs refuses to run). I have $LC_ALL=pt_BR. If I set it to pt_PT or en_US WPrefs works OK. What is the problem? Why X doesn't support pt_BR? I am almost sure X supported that locale before I upgraded do slink xlib6g. Thanks for help.
