avant-window-navigator doesn't start & problems changing gnome languag

hey there everybody!
this is my first post in this forum after a few days trying arch:)
simply love it... doesn't require too much efort(but if it did it would be a pleasure:) )
well let's stick to the issue...
here it goes:
i've searched through the web and i've found that to change my language to portuguese i would have to edit rc.conf so it would be like this:

LOCALE="pt-BR.UTF8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Portugal"
KEYMAP="pt-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="Agafari-12"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

the problem is that after this it is still in english and when i type locale -a i get this

[root@myhost foka]# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8

i haven't found any gnome-i18n alike's so i really need help on this one although i'm confortable with english

the secound problem.. i've installed avant-window-navigator from source but when i try to start it or use configuration tools i get this

Failed to execute child process "avant-window-navigator" (No such file or directory)

i hope you can help me:)

good hacking:D

Is /usr/local/bin in your $PATH? I don't think so. AWN is also in AUR.
For your locale, edit /etc/locale.gen accordingly and run locale-gen after that.

Re: avant-window-navigator doesn't start & problems changing gnome languag

I don't if there is a difference, but as you'll see in /etc/locale.gen, all locales have an underscore (_) separating the language from the location, not a dash (-)

So change the first line to LOCALE=pt_BR.UTF8

And don't forget to do what byte said, uncomment pt_BR.UTF8 in /etc/locale.gen and then run locale-gen.

Re: avant-window-navigator doesn't start & problems changing gnome languag

thank u byte and andre.ramaciotti for answering to my post:)
i've already solved the gnome language problem...
byte i've typed /usr/local/bin/avant-window-manager and it worked thanks
i can show you my PATH:
[foka@myhost ~]$ $PATH
bash: /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin: No such file or directory
[foka@myhost ~]$

/usr/local/bin has to be placed there right? how to?
thanks:)

Put this in ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
