Re: errors while installing glibc

locale-gen is part of glibc. just run it manually so it can do its thing. seems like there's a typo in the glibc.install file, the leading slash is missing so locale-gen won't be run correctly unless $PWD is / which would be unusual imo.

Re: errors while installing glibc

locale-gen is also missing

[root@myhost ~]# locate locale-gen
/var/abs/base/glibc/locale-gen
[root@myhost ~]# cd /var/abs/base/glibc/
[root@myhost glibc]# sh locale-gen
Generating locales...
  en_US.ISO-8859-1...locale-gen: line 39: localedef: command not found
[root@myhost glibc]#

Re: errors while installing glibc

I copied locale-gen and localdef from the notebook. But I have no permissions as root to write in /usr/share/i18n/locales (as root)

How can I fix it  :?:

Re: errors while installing glibc

Boot in single user mode and run a filesystem consistency check. Your filesystem is broken and needs repair. If the filesystem is XFS, you have to reboot with a lifecd to get it repaired, xfs_check and xfs_repair won't check mounted volumes.
