Hi,
I'm having some problems with seting the locale on 5.0 wich I have set
up on sparc hardware...I'm pretty sure this is not sparc related but if
so please correct me.
On all my intel machines (4.*) I set the lang and locale by adding the
following to the default section in /etc/login.conf:
:charset=ISO-8859-1:\
:lang=is_IS.ISO_8859-1:\
and adding "LC_ALL=is_IS.ISO8859-1" to the setenv line.
This seems to have no effect on the 5.0 system as I get locale errors when
running any locale dependant programs...
When running man I get:
ctype locale: Invalid argument
When running perl I get:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = "is_IS.ISO8859-1",
LANG = "is_IS.ISO8859-1"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
So I made a simple program to see if I could set the locale to what I
wanted.
=================================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
printf("setlocale(LC_ALL, \"%s\") returns: %s\n",argv[1],setlocale(LC_ALL, argv[1]));
printf("setlocale(LC_TIME, \"%s\") returns: %s\n",argv[1],setlocale(LC_TIME, argv[1]));
printf("Testing: [áíóðþæö]\n");
return 0;
}
=================================================
When run on the 5.0 system:
# ./locale-test is_IS.ISO8859-1
setlocale(LC_ALL, "is_IS.ISO8859-1") returns: (null)
setlocale(LC_TIME, "is_IS.ISO8859-1") returns: is_IS.ISO8859-1
Testing: [áíóðþæö]
But when run on a 4.7-STABLE system it goes like this:
# ./locale-test is_IS.ISO8859-1
setlocale(LC_ALL, "is_IS.ISO8859-1") returns: is_IS.ISO8859-1
setlocale(LC_TIME, "is_IS.ISO8859-1") returns: is_IS.ISO8859-1
Testing: [áíóðþæö]
The is_IS.ISO8859-1 locale is the same on both systems and I get the same
error when trying to set en_US.ISO8859-1 but if I try C it works fine on the
5.0 system:
# ./locale-test C
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") returns: C
setlocale(LC_TIME, "C") returns: C
Testing: [áíóðþæö]
I think there is some problem there but I don't have a free intel system to
test if 5.0 behaves the same there as on the sparc system.
I hope this all makes sense to someone else than just me.
/Oli
