en_US.iso88591 looks to be the canonicalized internal name. I.E. lower-cased and with all '-' stripped. For example the following does not generate errors: LANG=en_US.iSo-8-859-1 locale >/dev/null I would suggest using the format as specified in locale.alias, i.e. en_US.ISO-8859-1 Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
