Perl locale issue

Komodo · 2006-05-13 12:58:15

Recently I've been getting this in the terminal when running certain binaries:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_COLLATE = "C",
        LANG = "en_GB.utf8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

What should I install/change to remedy this?

As of glibc 2.3.6, glibc does not provide all locales. You must edit /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the locales you want built, then run locale-gen as root.

Ok, cheers stonecrest

Now when I try to run gtkpacman , I get this:

(gtkpacman:14846): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gtkpacman", line 62, in ?
    setlocale(LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

How am I supposed to find out which locale it wants? I've got en_GB and en_US iso lines uncommented, and have run locale-gen... :?

Giggidy, I generated the UTF8 ones for US and GB and it's ok now ^_^
