 |
|
Hi
I want to support UTF-8 in My Gentoo so I did this :
1. I did add (to USE) :
nls nptl unicode truetype
2. I did recompiled : gcc, xfree , glibc ,qt ,kde, perl
3. I did put
| Code: | | export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 |
in my profile
4. I did run
| Code: | | localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en-US.UTF-8 |
Now every time I try to run some program I got :
| Code: |
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = "en_US.UTF8",
LC_CTYPE = "en_US.UTF-8",
LANG = (unset)
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
|
And in some other program I got :
| Code: |
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
|
Can Anyone tell me what is the problem with Unicode in Gentoo (I didn't have any problem with my old dist. RedHar & Mandrake)

As a swede, I use | Code: | | localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i sv_SE sv_SE.UTF-8 |
so if you are using the en_US codec you should try | Code: | | localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8 |
instead. I think that's a bit more correct  .

This is what I have "en_US.UTF-8" but I still have the problem even after
| Code: |
localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8
|
SEE :
| Code: |
mylaptop root # ls /usr/share/locale/

I have all that but I still can't get en_US.UTF8
We I can find this in Redhat but I can't see it in Gentoo ?

Ok, so you do (as root): | Code: | | localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_US en_US.UTF-8 |
Then what? Do you get any error-msg:s? Do you just get back to the prompt? How long does it take?

You need to use "UTF-8" when using localedef. Glibc changes this it "utf8" when reporting the locales but it really shouldn't do that. As you have discovered it causes lot of confusion. Happenned to me too.
What version of glibc are you using? If its 2.3.2-r9 then that is probably your problem. I suspect a patch added in r9 has broken unicode locales. I had unicode locales working with -r3 but they were broken when I upgraded glibc and downgrading did restore them. |

| Sorry downgrading didn't restore the unicode locale to working order. |
