Earlier this week I tried to recompile my system with the gcc 4.2 snapshot. As this did not succeed, I recompiled my system with gcc 4.1.

Since then I have problems with my "locale" settings.

Example 1

Quote:
gentoo ~ # emerge --info
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_PAPER = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_ADDRESS = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "nl_BE.UTF-8@euro",
LC_NUMERIC = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.UTF-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_COLLATE = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_CTYPE = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_TIME = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LC_NAME = "nl_BE.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.

gentoo ~ # cat /etc/locales.build
# This file names the list of locales to be built when glibc is installed.
# The format is <locale>/<charmap>, where <locale> is a locale from the
# /usr/share/i18n/locales directory, and <charmap> is name of one of the files
# in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. All blank lines and lines starting with # are

en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8
nl_BE.UTF-8/UTF-8

Somewhere within the process of re-emerging a few times my environment, something went wrong.

For the documentation "How to use UTF-8 with Gentoo" I did three things (as root):

1. localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

2. added in /etc/env.d/02locale a line - LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

3. env-update && source /etc/profile

And that got things OK again.

This solution is not working as setting LC_ALL="en_US/UTF-8" overrides all other settings.

The problem seems to be that there is no "default locale" in the system???

POSIX

Showed that one way of another, "UTF-8" (from /etc/locales.build) has become "utf8" now.
Changing /etc/env.d/02locale accordingly solved my problem.

i have quite similar problems.. do you mean that you have changed all entries in /etc/locales.build&/etc/env.d/02locale from UTF-8 to utf8 ? if so do i have to recompile my glibc ?

i have 2 programs that arent working right know in cause of a locale settings problem my "locale" put out this :

compi ~ # locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

THX a LOT

i am using gcc 3.3.6 a default GCC

Yes, I have changed all UTF-8 in utf8.

See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml on what to do next.

Hope this helps.

Aiii, you are defining all af them :?: Won't these settings be derrived from the 'base' definition once it is set :?: Like not defining anything and then getting 'C' as the default :?: :?
