After much labor, I managed to clean my system (i.e., revdep-rebuild -p |
| 2 |
is happy). However, I started having locale problems (which I hadn't |
| 3 |
formerly). It shows up with perl and vim. |
| 4 |
I want the system to recognize Portuguese accented characters but |
| 5 |
otherwise to use English as general language (meaning the language used |
| 6 |
in error messages in bash, etc). |
| 7 |
I didn't have the file /etc/env.d/02locale (can't imagine why). |
| 8 |
$ cat /etc/env.d/02locale |
| 9 |
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 10 |
LC_TYPE="pt_PT.UTF-8" |
| 11 |
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.UTF-8@euro" |
| 12 |
I followed (more or less) |
| 13 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_UTF-8_enabled_system |
| 14 |
(It says |
| 15 |
LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 |
| 16 |
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8@euro |
| 17 |
but isn't this wrong? man locale says LC_ALL overrides LC_*, if I |
| 18 |
understood correctly.) |
| 19 |
Well, perl is not happy: |
| 20 |
$ perl -e "" |
| 21 |
perl: warning: Setting locale failed. |
| 22 |
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: |
| 23 |
LANGUAGE = (unset), |
| 24 |
LC_ALL = (unset), |
| 25 |
LC_MONETARY = "pt_PT.UTF-8@euro", |
| 26 |
LC_TYPE = "pt_PT.UTF-8", |
| 27 |
LANG = "en_US.ISO-8859-1" |
| 28 |
are supported and installed |
| 29 |
on your system. |
| 30 |
perl: warning: Falling back |
| 31 |
to the standard locale ("C") |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Writing in vim gives all sorts of silly output. |
| 34 |
What to do? Something to emerge? Some kernel config problem? |
| 35 |
Why didn't /etc/env.d/02locale exist? |
| 36 |
I compiled glibc without the userlocales USE variable, so all locales |
| 37 |
should exist... |
