Re: LANG=?
> Some questions: Why would Redhat choose an encoding for rh9 that breaks > all manner of things? Because unicode is the future. For English language speakers it might seem unnecessary but for those of us who have to provide support for other languages it's a benefit. The main problem at the moment seems to be a bug in perl's unicode handling. Apparently that's fixed in rawhide (and presumably will be fixed in Fedora). The bad news is the disease seems to have spread from RH 9 to RH 8.0 following the latest perl errata updates. -- Ian -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
LANG=?
The other day I was trying to install the latest Mail::SpamAssassin module through CPAN and it kept failing early in the compile. I've run into this before, so I looked at /etc/sysconfig/i18n and sure enough my LANG variable was set back to the default LANG="en_US.UTF-8". I changed it to en_US (again) and SpamAssassin compiled cleanly. Some questions: Why would Redhat choose an encoding for rh9 that breaks all manner of things? And what reset the LANG variable back to UTF-8, and how do I prevent this from happening again? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Why i18n (locales) is so slow? LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
I'm sure this is an FAQ. I've read up on http://nscp.upenn.edu/aix4.3html/aixbman/prftungd/natlangsup.htm which explains the structure types and why it's so expensive to do internationalization. So I went back to using "C" for my RH 8 and 9 systems: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n #LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="C" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" Basically I'm trying to find out how LANG="en_US.UTF-8" would benefit me. So far it has caused great pain as my grep searches (example below) are severly slowed. Since I only need english speaking anyway, is there any benefit with "en_US.UTF-8" that I don't see? -eric wood $ LANG="en_US.UTF-8";export LANG $ time bash -c 'grep WOOD /tmp/customers.tab | wc -l' 13774 real0m20.267s user0m20.240s sys 0m0.030s $ LANG="C";export LANG $ time bash -c 'grep WOOD /tmp/customers.tab | wc -l' 13774 real0m0.060s user0m0.030s sys 0m0.030s -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Funny char in MAN even with LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I *thought* the reason I was seeing funny characters in MAN output was due to the fact that I had set LANG=en in my environemnt, however, Even *with* LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I see the same funny character pairs (which I assume are UTF-8 in the source). Why are they NOT iterpreted correctly? What do I need? More fonts? different XTERM?

RHL 8.0 - Man and Grep problems due to LANG setting
Hi All, I've found a problem caused by the setting of the LANG environment variable with Red Hat Linux 8.0. With RHL 8.0 the LANG variable gets set to "en_GB.UTF-8" whereas previously (with 7.3) it used to get set to "en_GB.iso885915". The new setting with RHL 8.0 causes two problems, one more severe than the other. Firstly if you telnet into a system from another system all the man pages get "corrupted". Secondly (this is the severe one) grep performs about 8 times slower than it used to! If you regularly scan large files as I do this can be very painful. Both can be fixed by setting the language back to "en_GB.iso885915" by editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n. If you want to leave it set to the UTF version you can downgrade to grep 2.4.2 and that works OK - but I wonder what other things might be affected by the problem. If anyone out there knows why this happens or a better way to fix it then please let me know.
