Hi,
=20
I updated a mc port to the last one, version 4.7.0pre4 and wanted to run =
mc, but mc display a warning message that the selected display charset =
or source codeset does not match one set via locale. I have never seen =
this message since I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in =
this new version. The version 4.6.2 does not show you this message =
durring starting application.
=20
I wanted to set my locale, but I found out that command setlocale is =
missing on FreeBSD 7.2.
=20
Files in directory /etc:
=20
login.conf, login.conf.db, csh.login and profile are set as HANDBOOK =
recommends for language localization.
=20
My shells are bash, tcsh or zsh, csh for root user. The results are the =
same.
=20
bash:
[user@server ~]$ LC_ALL=3DISO-8859-2; export LC_ALL
-bash: varov=C3=A1n=C3=AD: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale =
(ISO-8859-2): No such file or directory
=20
zsh:
server% setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
zsh: command not found: setlocale

tcsh:
> setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
setlocale: Command not found.

root csh:
server# setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
setlocale: Command not found.

So my simple question is why is setlocale command missing in FreeBSD 7.2 =
? And if user could not use locale and setlocale commands like on Linux, =
how can I solve my problem with new version of MC ?
=20
The mc message:
=20
Confirmation
=20
Chosen display charset (Settings->Display bits) or source codeset (in =
mcedit ctrl-t) does not match one set via locale. Set correct codeset =
manually or press <<Fix it>> to set locale default.
=20
Or set 'don' task again' and press <<Skip>>
=20
[ ] don't ask again
=20
[< Fix it >]                                   [ Skip ]
=20
BTW in mc there is not any settings with display bits, there is only =
options menu with display bits. Wrong help dialogs ?
=20
Thank you
=20
