1 Hi,
2
3 Currently I am getting problems in the area of locale settings.
4
5 On my PC I set
6 echo $LC_CTYPE
7 de_DE.utf8
8 the settings are done here:
9
10 /etc>sudo grep -r de_DE.utf8
11 profile.env:export LC_CTYPE='de_DE.utf8'
12 env.d/02locale:LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8
13 csh.env:setenv LC_CTYPE 'de_DE.utf8'
14
15 I have done the same on my little embedded system following
16 the instruction for setting up a Gentoo system (I think...but
17 obviously I must have done something wrong...
18
19 Doing "locale -a" on the embedded system produces:
20
21 Arietta G25 A:/root>locale -a
22 locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
23 C
24 POSIX
25 de_DE
26 de_DE.iso88591
27 de_DE.iso885915@euro
28 de_DE@euro
29 deutsch
30 en_US
31 en_US.iso88591
32 en_US.utf8
33 german
34
35 The message printed right after the command appears not only here, but
36 at several other occasions like compiling etc...
37
38
39 Doing "locale -a" on my PC prints a HUGE list which contains beside
40 thousands of other settings this: de_DE.utf8
41
42 I have no clue, what I am missing here...for installation I used an
43 uptodate stage3 archive...
44
45 Any hint what I done wrong or left undone is very appreciated...
46 Thank you very much in advance!
47
48 Best regards,
49 Meino
