Hi, |
| 2 |
I don't understand locales, or not really. I get that they say |
| 3 |
something about where the machine is running and what character |
| 4 |
set/sets the machine should use, but that's as far as I go with it. |
| 5 |
It's never been much of a problem. |

I unmasked the k3b_beta1.0 package and built it this morning to |
| 8 |
look at a new feature. When I start the program I'm getting a message: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 |
| 11 |
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode |
| 12 |
filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this |
| 13 |
has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. |
| 14 |
An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data |
| 15 |
projects. |
| 16 |
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* |
| 17 |
environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools |
| 18 |
take care of this. |

I'm going back looking at the Gentoo Quick Install Guide. It talks |
| 21 |
about locales.build and locales.gen for recent version of glibc. |
| 22 |
Section 2.37 at |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
However my AMD64 machine seems like it's either not set up or set up |
| 27 |
for an old version of glibc: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
lightning ~ # slocate locales.build |
| 30 |
/etc/locales.build |
| 31 |
/mnt/gentoo32/etc/locales.build |
| 32 |
/usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/files/locales.build |
| 33 |
lightning ~ # slocate locales.gen |
| 34 |
lightning ~ # |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Do I need to change things like the setup guide would have me do? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I have no 'LC_' setting in make.conf nor do I see anything obvious |
| 39 |
in /etc/conf.d. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I'm very confused about this stuff anyway. Thanks in advance for being kind. |

cheers, |
