Hello!
I tried to set my FreeBSD box to using unicode by setting the
following locale:
sean@lois ~ 0 $ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
This should exist according to "locale -a":
sean@lois ~ 0 $ locale -a | grep en_GB.UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8
sean@lois ~ 0 $ ls /usr/share/locale/en_GB.UTF-8/
LC_COLLATE LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
However Perl, rxvt-unicode and others complain, that it does not:
sean@lois ~ 0 $ perl -e 'print "Hello world!\n"'
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Hello world!
sean@lois ~ 0 $ urxvt -h
urxvt: default locale unavailable, check LC_* and LANG variables.
Continuing.
rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v5.7 - released: 2005-07-13
...
What's wrong here?
Thanks for any hints!
