31 Good morning,
32 Finishing the thread from last night, I think it was obvious but
33 for anyone reading later I did re-emerge glibc.
34
35 OK, it turns out there may still be an issue or two. At least I'd
36 like to get your input on it.
37
38 All of the issues I had recognized up through yesterday were
39 successfully fixed using the steps above. However when compiling
40 Ardour this morning I found that it was installing locale data for as
41 much as I can tell every language possible. Does this imply there is
42 still a locale issue? If I only need en_US derivatives then why are
43 other locale messages getting installed?
44
45 Also, I noticed when using slocate that there are some locale
46 directories under X11. In the same spirit, are they there by default
47 or left over from something I did earlier and haven't correctly
48 cleaned up?
