Very thanks!!

That program compiled with -lxpg4 return "success", when LANG =
"ja_JP.EUC".


But, why the EUC encoding isn't supported in the library libc ??

All programs which use a setlocale function without the -lxpg4 link option

will cause Error "Cannot set locale.".

Do FreeBSD "japanese" packages which need to link a shared libc library 

or ports without the -lxpg4 link option cause any problem ??
