Glibc and locales!

I just built the newest glibc and got the message to remove the /etc/locales.build and to add my locales to /etc/locale.gen. So I did but now when I log in to gnome it says "el_GR language not found" and it uses the system's default one.
My /etc/locale.gen is
en_US/ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8
el_GR/ISO-8859-7
el_GR.UTF-8/UTF-8

and in my /etc/profile I've added the line
export LANG="el_GR.UTF-8"

any ideas?

Loose the forward slashes in the locale definitions and it should work.

You mean to do my /etc/locale.gen as

en_US.UTF-8
el_GR.UTF-8

and to rebuild glibc?

No, do it like this:

Thanks a lot, it worked. Though I didn't rebuilt glibc but I run locale-gen instead
