Several people have already reported this particular issue
with XF86 4.2 (on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE).
And - thus far, there is no resolution.
When I install Netscape (ftp'd from ftp.netscape.org) and
try and run it, I get:
netscape: locale `C' not supported.
If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files,
Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text
field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this
program was linked.)
Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have
included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place
for these files is /usr/X11/lib/X11/nls/.
If you can't create that
directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to
point at the place where you installed the files.
I've tried creating the proper XNLSPATH and nls directories
to no avail.
I don't have this problem with XFree86 3.3.6.
Is it possible this is already addressed in (the upcoming) 4.6?
- Thanks! -
