You can keep Perl quiet and get your UTF-8 supporting applications to work with these steps: Put in .Xdefaults XTerm*locale: UTF-8 (you may need XENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.Xdefaults in .profile; or use .Xresources) Put in your .kshrc alias more='LANG=en_US.UTF-8 more' (of course ENV=$HOME/.kshrc in .profile; adjust to .cshrc for csh) In .vimrc set encoding=utf-8 I bet Emacs has similar Lisp incantation that you can put in .emacs If not you can use aliasing similar to 'more' above.

"export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8" does do something for both emacs and xterm. Without it both emacs and xterm have trouble reading make.log's generated by gcc on fedora. With that LC_CYTPE setting both programs correctly display the gcc warnings. Let me see if I can quote a few lines: gmfgetfeature.c: In function ‘gmf_get_feature_name0’: gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format ‘%qx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 5 has type ‘gf’ gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format ‘%qx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 6 has type ‘gf’ With the LC_CYPTE set to utf-8, the back-quote and forward-quote show up like `%qx' and `long long unsigned int` as such: gmfgetfeature.c: In function `gmf_get_feature_name0': gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format `%qx' expects type `long long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type `gf' gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format `%qx' expects type `long long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type `gf' Without the utf-8 LC_CTYPE, everything between the quotes and the quotes shows up as the single character 'a' with a ^ over it. It basically removes the most valuable part of all the error messages. gmfgetfeature.c: In function `gmf_get_feature_name0': gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format a^ expects type a^, but argument 5 has type a^ gmfgetfeature.c:222: warning: format a^ expects type a^, but argument 6 has type a^ So that LC_CTYPE does do something important for the programs I care most about. -wolfgang

In which case, wrapping the linux compiler in a shell script that would set LC_CTYPE would be the right thing to do.

I need to see output generated by a current fedora system. Either I can see the a usable gcc error msg or the OS goes. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.

Now that I sat back and thought about it a bit longer, it probably doesn't even matter to me that most of the aspects of UTF-8 processing work completely. Both xterm and emacs already work well enough for my purposes. All I needed to do is read gcc error strings produced by fedora FC4. For some silly reason that gcc used some high-page unicode forward-tick and back-tick for quoting things in error/warning messages. Getting perl to shut up about the LANG variable was probably all I really needed from perl. (And that was a simple "export PERL_BADLANG=0"). -wolfgang

Note that this ought to work in about six months time.
UTF8 support won't make OpenBSD 3.8, but I hope to commit it a little
bit after that.
