Any idea what it might be ?
I'm using XFree 4.3.0 and kernel ac-sources-2.4.21-pre5-ac2.. Since I'm too lazy to fiddle with different kernels/xfree versions etc I were hoping someone has an answer 
Thanks ! |

The problem lies that the gencat program from glibc can't handle foreign characters the way they are written in the Translation.m file. I guess this is a bug in openbox.
You can work around it though:
When the emerge fails, do the following:
1. cd /var/tmp/portage/openbox-2.3.0/work/openbox-2.3.0
2. vi Makefile
3. Change the following line:
SUBDIRS = doc src nls util
to
SUBDIRS = doc src util
4. Save the file
5. Type 'make' to compile
6. Install with:
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-2.3.0.ebuild install/usr/portage/x11-wm/openbox/openbox-2.3.0.ebuild qmerge
I think someone needs to file a bug with OpenBox on this issue.

I dont think that those "invalid character: message ignored" are doing any harm
I have tried Blackbox, Fluxbox, Openbox, Hackedbox, Waimea and in all of them I get a big bunch of those "invalid character: message ignored" and still everything goes right.
Using Openbox right now. |

I know what the problem is, but I don't have time to fix it.
The problem is that the emerge stops beacuse of them. By using my workaround, one will be able to compile and install OpenBox.

| For some reason your fix is not working, i did everything you said to do and i still get the error. After i get the error my makefile is changed to back to what it was before i edited it. The nls gets back in subdir line. Any idea what this might be from ? |

Used this install, qmerge drill, but still got
!!! ERROR: x11-wm/openbox-2.3.0 failed.
!!! Function commonbox_src_compile, Line 115, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)
Tried to skip the install part, and qmerge directly, but still no luck. XFree4.3, any more info needed?

| When you emerge it use this command USE="-nls" emerge openbox. This is how i got it to work thanks to a private message from someone on the board |
