See the Gentoo Linux Localization Guide for futher elaboration on the below recommendations:

Ensure your locale is found in /usr/share/locale
If not, generate your locale as described in the above reference.

See if that works.

I'm currently testing my hypothesis on 1. As far as ab_CD, it would be as you have already described, el_GR. I'd thought it should be in /usr/share/locale, which is why I suggested you might look there first for it, because based on your initial post, the complaint is that there is 'no such file or directory.'

Still testing...

locales.build has been superceded by locale.gen. If you recompile glibc you'll get a warning to that effect.

And this may be a silly question, but did you also use the following guide?

Ok, now that I've installed the el_GR locale, I know where to find it. What are the contents of /usr/lib/locale?

Any news on my problem?? do you want some additional information??

Sorry for the delay, I've been testing an installation script and been a little busy resolving errors.

I found some information that may hold the key. Check the last two entries of this post:

problem: can't set locales

To sum it up, just put a space in between the locale and utf8 in locale.gen as in the second to last post. Then run locale-gen, then rerun locale -a. Let me know if this helps.

i thought i had to do a "locale-gen" only if i had edited the locale.gen file not the 02locale...should i do it??

no, thats true, you mustn't! an env-update && source /etc/profile should do it!

Well, actually it should work with 02locale as well. Do you have the latest glibc version (2.3.6-r4)??

did you do a "locale -a" as well with the exported variables?? What was the output??

any ideas on how to make the commands execute without i have to type them every time?? in which file should i put them??

zAfi · Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2006 10:34 pm Post subject:

well, theoratically spoken you should place them in /etc/env.d/02locale like I mentioned on a post before. Just place those 3 in it...maybe this works better than with everything set.
